I would like to advise the Deputy that Shanganagh Castle and surrounding lands of 28 acres were sold by the Department of Justice after the closure of the prison in 2002. The castle site and surrounding lands were sold for a total of €29.9 million.

The 2014 Prison Accommodation report shows that €9,001,690.04 was received from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in 2005, following the sale in 2004.

A further amount of €20,655,940 was received in 2007 by the Department from a private developer.
