A new Gymnasium was completed in Custume Barracks, Athlone in 2009 at a cost of €1.7m approx. In addition it is expected that contracts will be placed within the coming weeks for new garaging facilities and an upgrade of service facilities at the Barracks. A number of other smaller projects are also underway including upgrading of storage facilities and military police facilities at the barracks.

These works are part of the Departments ongoing capital building programme designed to modernise and enhance the training, operational and accommodation facilities available to members of the Defence Forces.
