172. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence for an update in relation to the at least 87 empty Defence Forces family accommodation; what plans there are to utilise these; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32155/23]
View answerI have instructed the Defence Forces to carry out an assessment of the vacant housing stock to ascertain their suitability to a return to modern single living in accommodation usage for serving personnel. I am advised that my officials together with the Defence Forces are currently developing proposals to inform the Request for Tenders to commence the procurement process for same. Accordingly , I am not currently in a position to state when such premises, if found suitable, will be available.
