Applications for Help to Buy (HTB) may be made on a provisional basis as first time buyers will want to have certainty as to their entitlements in advance of commencing the purchase of a property. An application will only progress to the claim stage if and when the applicant decides to purchase a property that is eligible for the scheme. I am advised by Revenue that county information is only available for applications that proceed to claim stage, since the information on the property address is only captured at the claim stage.

6,884 HTB claims have been approved in relation to properties in County Cork to-date since the inception of the scheme.
