The OPW is currently assessing the property options in respect of all residential properties arising from the closure of Garda Stations. The stated policy is to identify if other State Bodies, including Government departments and the wider public sector has a use for the property. If there is no other State use for a property the OPW will then consider disposing of the property on the open market, if and when conditions prevail, in order to generate much needed revenue for the Exchequer. If no State requirement is identified or if a decision is taken not to dispose of a particular property the OPW would consider community involvement, subject to the receipt of an appropriate business case which would indicate that the community/voluntary group has the means to insure, maintain and manage the property. The OPW intend to initially identify 20 former Garda properties which will be placed on the market for disposal by the Summer. It is not possible to provide information on the specific locations or the anticipated value at this time.
