These properties are owned by the Department of Defence and the Office of Public Works has no role in their management. The current position in relation to Rockhill Military post is that it is being prepared for public sale although an agreement is in place with another Government agency for the purchase of part of the lands. Lifford Military post is under negotiation with another Government agency. An agreement is in place to dispose of part of Connolly Barracks, Longford to a Government agency and some interest has been recorded in the remaining portion of the barracks. An agreement for sale is also in place in relation to Monaghan Barracks. Magee Barracks has not been made available for sale yet.
