Longford County Council have expressed some interest in acquiring Connolly Barracks. Discussions with the Council are ongoing with officials from my Department.

In the event of these discussions not reaching a satisfactory outcome this property will be disposed of taking account of the market conditions, so as to maximise the return to the Defence Forces and generate funding for reinvestment in Defence Forces equipment and infrastructure.
