I propose to take Questions Nos. 6 and 18 together.

Since 1998 a total of 14 barracks have been closed under various barrack consolidation programmes. To date, nine of these barracks, Clancy in Dublin, Castleblaney, Ballincollig, Fermoy, Naas, Monaghan, Cavan, Castlebar and a large portion of Longford, have been sold.

On the remaining barracks, agreement has been reached for the sale of Lifford and Rockhill to Donegal County Council. Discussions are ongoing on the possible sale of Clonmel barracks and the remaining part of Longford has been reserved for the Office of Public Works for a local Garda station.

Magee Barracks in Kildare and Columb Barracks in Mullingar remain the property of the Department. All remaining vacated barracks as well as any properties identified as surplus to military requirements will be disposed of by my Department, taking account of the market conditions, so as to maximise the return to the Defence Forces.
