I have been advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that two former Garda Station buildings in County Cavan have been sold.  These are Finea and Tullyvin.

No former Garda stations in County Monaghan have been sold.

The former Garda station at Shantonagh, Co. Monaghan was a leased property and this lease was surrendered following the closure of the station.

The following table sets out the position with the remaining former Garda stations that remain in State ownership.
