I have been advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that two former Garda Station buildings in County Cavan have been sold. These are Finea and Tullyvin.
No former Garda stations in County Monaghan have been sold.
The former Garda station at Shantonagh, Co. Monaghan was a leased property and this lease was surrendered following the closure of the station.
The following table sets out the position with the remaining former Garda stations that remain in State ownership.
Former Garda Station | County | Closed | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Bawnboy | Cavan | 2013 | Reopening as part of the Programme for a Partnership Government |
Redmills | Cavan | 2013 | Future use under consideration |
Stradone (New) * | Cavan | 2013 | Refurbished and extended. Currently in use by An Garda Síochána. |
Clontibret | Monaghan | 2012 | Future use under consideration |
Corrinshigagh | Monaghan | 2013 | Future use under consideration |
Newbliss | Monaghan | 2013 | Future use under consideration |
Smithborough | Monaghan | 2012 | Future use under consideration |
* The old Garda station at Stradone, Co. Cavan closed in 2002. This property is surplus to requirements and is being prepared for disposal.
