324. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he will provide an update on the feasibility study currently being undertaken on the future use of Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin; when this study will be published; and the engagement his Department has had with the Land Development Agency and the Department of Defence on this issue.

Cathal Brugha Barracks was among the lands identified with potential for transfer to the Land Development Agency as part of the process of development of the Housing for All Plan. High level engagement took place at the time between Departments and the need was identified for a feasibility study.

My Department understands that the Department of Defence has secured funding for a feasibility study on transfer of the Cathal Brugha barracks site for use in social and affordable housing.

Further engagement will be dependent on the outcome of the study.
