The Government decided on 1st July 2003 that Magee Barracks in Kildare Town would be among the State lands released to Kildare County Council for inclusion in the Sustaining Progress Affordable Housing Initiative. The final Contract of Sale was sent to the Solicitors for Kildare County Council for signing on 6th January 2009. My Department is currently making plans to have the site secured.
