No plans to sell more barracks, says O’Dea

DEFENCE minister Willie O’Dea said his department has no immediate plans to close any further military barracks.

The department’s property portfolio is, however, kept under continual review, the minister said.

“Any properties surplus to requirements will be disposed of to fund much-needed investment to meet the equipment and infrastructure needs of the Defence Forces,” he told Fine Gael’s Bernard Durkan.
