It is anticipated that Monaghan Army Barracks will be disposed of, taking account of market conditions, so as to maximise the return to the Defence Forces and generate funding for reinvestment in Defence Forces equipment and infrastructure in accordance with Government policy. I am assured by the military authorities that there is a range of available accommodation and facilities in place and that any additional arrangements required will be in place by the time personnel will have to transfer to their new location.
