My Department has been engaged on an ongoing programme of barracks consolidation since 1998 and the entire property portfolio is under continual review.

The properties outlined in the following table are currently vacant and it is my Department’s policy to dispose of properties that are surplus to military requirements.

There are no vacant properties rented or leased by my Department, or by bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department, that are not in use at the current time.
