Question:73 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Defence the plans, if any, he has to sell any property owned by his Department other than the six barracks announced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4619/00]
Written Answers. - Defence Forces Property.
As part of an ongoing review of the Department's properties, and bearing in mind the continuing pressure on land resources in major cities and towns, I have decided that as a contribution to alleviating the shortage of land for housing the following properties adjoining barracks should be disposed of on the open market:
|
Susan's Field, adjoining Collins Barracks, Cork |
6 acres |
|
Married Quarters, Sarsfield Barracks, Limerick |
3 acres |
|
Mellowes Field, adjoining Renmore Barracks, Galway |
10 acres. |
In addition, an area of 1.5 acres of the barracks in Waterford city, is to be sold.
Arrangements for the disposal of each of these properties have been put in train.
