Another 13 were paid out in the county for a total of €776 thousand.
The Department of Housing say 2,856 homes nationally have been brought back into use - which have been part-funded through the scheme.
Almost 14,000 applications have been made for money since the scheme started - with more than 9,000 paid out.
Around 700 grants were paid out between April and June this year - which the Department of Housing say is a continual rise.
Donegal has had the highest number of applications - followed by Cork and Mayo.
Payment for the scheme isn't made until the works on the house is completed and inspected by a local authority.
