Following the closure of Monaghan and other barracks in January last, my Department contacted all other Department to enquire if they or any or their agencies operating under their aegis wished to acquire the properties. Arising from that process, there have been ongoing discussions between Monaghan VEC, the Department of Education and Science and my Department in respect of the former Monaghan Barracks. These discussions are now at an advanced stage and will, I hope, be concluded shortly.
