I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works (CPW) that there are two sites in their ownership in the administrative area of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
Rochestown Avenue
This site, comprising approximately 1 acre, is located close to the National Rehabilitation Hospital at Rochestown Avenue, Kill O’ the Grange, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
The site was acquired by the CPW in 2007 to facilitate the construction of a new Garda station. The site is no longer required for that purpose and the Office of Public Works is currently exploring alternative State use for the site.
Central Mental Hospital, Dundrum
The Central Mental Hospital (CMH), Dundrum consists of several buildings and a large site of 11.35 hectares (28 acres). The CMH is an operational hospital and will continue to be until a new facility is constructed in Portrane, Co. Dublin.
The new Land Development Agency has identified the Dundrum site as suitable for a large-scale housing development when vacated by the CMH.
