Parking spaces at Coolmoney Camp are required for military vehicles and Camp staff and accordingly the number of parking spaces available at the Camp for civilian vehicles belonging to troops attending training is limited. There are approximately 30 parking spaces available for personnel attending training, whether members of the Permanent Defence Force or the Reserve Defence Force. These parking spaces are distributed to units attending training on a pro rata basis depending on the number of personnel in each unit. As transport to Coolmoney Camp is normally provided, reservists are not obliged to bring private cars to the Camp.
