View answerThe situation as set out in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 905 of 21 April 2021 remains unchanged.
The firing range at Cushla, County Roscommon is administered by the Department of Defence on behalf of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, in whom the land is vested. While the Cushla Rifle Range is not currently in use and there are no immediate plans to reactivate this range, the Department of Defence currently has no plans to dispose of the land. Ordinarily, surplus property is disposed of by way of public auction.
