The Heritage Division of my Department has properties and land held in connection with the National Parks & Wildlife Service’s functions around nature conservation and the management of the National Parks and Reserves network.

All lands owned by the Minister and managed by the NPWS are in use for nature conservation purposes or as part of the National Parks and Reserves network.

A number of the properties are vacant as detailed below. Any future use of these buildings would be considered in the context of nature conservation, as resources allow.
