Interesting history to this place. A bit of institutional State property being disposed of by the Dept of Defense? Apparantly the tendering closed on 15th of January 2010, but it’s up for auction now guiding 800k. Central to the, eh, ‘plan’ in the event of a nuclear war as a communications hub, but also rumoured to be a hide out for the top-brass. Near the Curragh and Punchestown, so why not…
Listed in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as ‘ruined’, which is obviously a subjective assessment, but it could also indicate that the interior has not survived the Dept of Defense decorators. An Irish Time’s article suggests the decorators may have used lots of concrete.
