An area comprising more than 27 acres of the property in question is being handed over to Cork County Council for community use, including the provision of playing pitches. At meetings held at County Hall, Cork, in January 2002 between my predecessor and representatives of the local GAA and soccer clubs, it was agreed that the soccer club should be allocated one pitch on the northern side of a mill race which traverses the barrack lands and a second pitch to the south of that mill race, while the GAA Club would be given an area adjacent to the soccer pitch on the northern side. The formal allocation of the land to the clubs is a matter for Cork County Council. My Department is in the process of transferring title to the property to the Council.
