The Fair Deal Scheme in Ireland is the first of its kind and a great example of Ireland’s commitment to driving fairness for all workers by introducing a fairer, more inclusive deal.

What is the Fair Deal Scheme in Ireland?

The Fair Deal Scheme in Ireland is designed to provide affordable home ownership and rental accommodation to people who are facing difficulty in finding an appropriate place to live. The scheme offers a combination of affordable mortgage payments, rent subsidies, and support from the government.

To be eligible for the scheme, you must meet certain criteria including being on social welfare, having a low income, and proving that you cannot afford to rent or buy a place on your own. You can also receive help if you are part of a family group that is struggling to find an affordable place to live.

The Fair Deal Scheme is open to people who are already living in Ireland, as well as those who are planning to move here in the near future. If you are applying for the first time, you will need to provide proof of your identity and residency.

Applications are processed by local authorities. If you have any questions about the Fair Deal Scheme contact us
