I believe in rural housing. Last year, more than 5,000 one-off homes were built in rural areas, so people do get planning permission for rural homes. We also believe in ensuring that our towns and villages are rejuvenated. That is why we have had more than 7,000 applications for the vacancy grant, whereby people can get €70,000 to bring vacant and derelict homes back into use.

Specifically in regard to demountable properties or log cabins, people can seek planning permission for those type of dwellings as well.
