A site beside the Garda station in Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, was sold at auction on 26 March 2005 for €150,000. Sale is due to close shortly. A site at St. John's Road, Westgate, is to be sold, jointly with Eircom, by public tender on 26 May 2005. A site at Ashbourne Garda station is due to be sold at auction in June.
The bulk of the proceeds of these sales will go to finance the decentralisation programme while €10 million of the proceeds has been applied to priority projects, mainly in the Garda area. Identification of properties surplus to requirements is continuously evolving and it is not possible to confirm what further properties will be disposed of in the remainder of 2005. Premature release of disposal information and timescales would also affect the potential income from such disposals.
