Following a re-organisation of the Reserve Defence Force Lahinch Camp closed in March of this year. The property is surplus to my Department’s requirements and in accordance with normal procedure was offered for sale to other Government Departments and Public Bodies. Discussions have taken place with Clare County Council and local community groups in relation to the property and these are now nearing completion. If the property is not sold through this process it will be disposed of by public auction in early 2014.
