Tánaiste and Minister for Defence

The information sought by the Deputy could not be collated in the time frame and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy when available.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.

I refer to the above mentioned Parliamentary Questions from 9th April 2024 which was deferred: “To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence the number of properties either owned or leased by his Department, which are currently vacant; the length of time the properties have been vacant for; and the location of the properties, in tabular form.”

While it was not possible to provide the requested information to you within the given timeframe, I am now in a position to provide information on this matter.

I assume that by vacant properties the Deputy is referring to residential properties. There are seventy-eight (78) vacant residential type properties under the remit of my Department. I am advised that none of these properties can be occupied without considerable refurbishment and were built before the Building Regulations and associated standards arising from same came into effect.

Please find below a table listing vacant Defence Forces accommodation properties as requested. Some properties have been vested to DPENDR, these are noted in the table. My Department does not collate data in respect of the length of time properties are vacant as the local military authorities manage the allocation of housing stock to Defence Forces personnel.
