It is Government policy to dispose of all property surplus to State requirements. This includes sites acquired for the decentralisation programme. Portion of the site (.71 acres) at Killarney is being allocated to the Department of Defence for a site for an FCA hall. Consideration will be given to disposing of the balance of the site (2.065 acres) when the market in property improves.
