The Irish Minister Heather Humphreys highlighted, in interviews about the new proposal, that the central idea of the project is improve the quality of life on the islands, bringing infrastructure, improvements in housing and essential services, such as health and education.
In another part of the statement, she talks about the importance of investing in populationyoung and in sustainability:
“We will see islands contributing to and benefiting from the transition to a low-carbon economy and a climate-neutral society. We will see our island communities, and especially young people, playing an active role in shaping the future of their own islands,” he said.
According to forbes, the new residents will need to buy a residence on one of the islands. Also, the new home can only be purchased if it has been on the market for at least two years.
The financial support of R$ 400,000 offered by the government will be used to revitalize the property, guaranteeing renovations and improvements in the structure.
