I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works (OPW) that there are currently 73 vacant properties owned by the OPW, consisting of 52 buildings and 21 sites. The former Garda station and residence at Newbliss, Co. Monaghan is the only property owned by the OPW that has been placed on a local authority derelict sites register.

The OPW is in the process of transferring this property to Monaghan County Council under the protocols set out in D/PER circular 11/15: Protocols for the Transfer and Sharing of State Property Assets.

The OPW has not paid any levies with regard to derelict sites to any local authority between 2020 and 2025.
