At the opposite end of the scale, as mentioned, Dublin saw the smallest portion of money paid out under the scheme at just over €1.8 million across 169 applications.
Counties Leitrim and Sligo made up the bottom three counties with over €2.6 million and €4.06 million spread over 280 and 314 applications, respectively, under the scheme to date.
