The Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland held a leasehold interest in Lissycasey Former Garda Station, Lissycasey, County Clare. The Lease term was 99 years, from 31 December, 1914 to 30 December 2013. The Commissioners of Public Works are now in the process of regularising our legal position in relation to this property and in that regard, the matter is being dealt with by the Chief State Solicitors Office.
