159. To ask the Minister for Defence the plans that exist for the sale of the former Army barracks in Loughrea; if a reserve price has been put in place; when an auction will take place or where members of the public can get more information on the sale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The former FCA premises in Loughrea, Co Galway was vacated in March of last year and has been identified as being surplus to military requirements. In accordance with normal procedure for the disposal of State property, my Department invited other Government Departments and Public Bodies to register any interest in this property. As no interest has been expressed, preparations are underway for the disposal of the property by Public Auction in 2014. A Reserve Price has not been set as this stage. When preparations have been finalised, all relevant information regarding the sale will be advertised both nationally and locally.
