Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2013
591. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Defence if he will consider a proposal (details supplied) in respect of the former premises of the Reserve Forces Headquarters in Fermoy, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4552/13]
View answerFermoy RDF post is one of the properties identified for closure under the re-organisation programme for the Reserve. It is anticipated that all RDF properties identified for closure under the programme, including Fermoy, will be vacated by the end of March next. At that stage, in accordance with normal procedure in relation to the disposal of State property, my Department will be inviting Government Departments and other Public Bodies to identify any interest in the properties in question including Fermoy. If no interest is expressed by any other Government Department or State Agency the property will be disposed of by public tender/auction. In the circumstances my Department is not in a position to consider the question of the premises being transferred to the UN Veterans Association.
