These A rated homes are available for purchase by successful applicants at a price lower than its market value. In return, Kilkenny County Council will take a percentage equity interest in the home equal to the difference between the open market value of the home and the price paid by the buyer.  So, if a 20% discount off the market value of the home is secured, the Council will take a 20% equity interest in the property.

The Online Portal will open for applications on Wednesday, September 10 at 12noon.
