The Government decided on 1 July 2003 that Magee Barracks, Kildare, would be among the State lands released for inclusion in the Sustaining Progress Affordable Housing Initiative. With regard to Magee Barracks, the modalities of the transfer of the property to Kildare County Council are in process in consultation with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Chief State Solicitor's Office. The former Married Quarters at Magee Barracks were sold to the occupants some years ago and the roads and services surrounding same will be taken in charge by Kildare County Council as part of the overall transfer of Magee Barracks.
