The property in question is owned by my Department and is used by the Reserve Defence Forces (RDF) on a part-time basis, for training purposes.

Military personnel from Castlebar Military Barracks look after the caretaking and general maintenance of the property. The cost of running the building in 2008, including electricity, heating, phone and water charges was €2154.35.
