evidence: While the Irish government is offering financial assistance to those who decide to relocate to sparsely populated offshore islands, under the newly introduced ‘Our Living Islands’ policy, it is only citizens of Ireland that are eligible to avail the financial benefits and the policy is not open to non-EU/EEA nationals who live outside of Ireland. While foreign nationals can move to these islands, they do not get any financial grant from the government and the residency requirements are the same as the rest of Ireland. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.
