View answerThe Garda station at Stoneyford, Co. Kilkenny is an operational Garda Station.
The attached Garda residence is currently being assessed for alternative State use, in line with the OPW's policy on the disposal of property, which is to:
- firstly, identify any potential alternative State use;
- where an alternative State use is not identified, the property will be considered for disposal subject to prevailing market conditions, and
- where the options above are not feasible, the OPW will consider community use subject to a detailed written proposal from the group in terms of its capacity to repair, insure and maintain the property.
The residence at Stoneyford Garda station is being assessed for alternative State use as a potential longer-term project.
