The Curragh Place of Detention was used by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform for civilian purposes from 1996 to 2003. The facility was returned to the Department of Defence in 2008. While it has been available as a military detention facility since November 2009, no military prisoner has been detained in the facility to date.
