The local authority received seven submissions for the vacant properties refurbishment grant - with only two being granted, while two others are still under review.
Funding of up to €50,000 is available for anyone who wants to do up a 'derelict' or empty building, - the property must not have been used for least two years and built before 1993.
Independent Councillor James Kelly says they are hoping more people will apply for it:
