Barracks land to earn State less than €0.33m per acre

The State will get less than a €330,000 an acre for the military land disposed of as a result of the government decision to close six military barracks.

The decision to close the barracks and sell the land at Ballincollig, Fermoy, Castleblaney, Naas, Kildare and Islandbridge was made seven years ago.
