Garda Stations and Coastguard Cottages Sold

Three former Garda stations in Cork—Ballyfeard, Knocknagree, and Rathduff—sold for record prices in an online auction, sparking interest in Ireland’s forgotten public buildings. Meanwhile, others like Ballygurteen and Castletownshend await new owners or uses, while Kealkil faces title hurdles. Beyond Garda stations, nine old coastguard cottages in Crosshaven are prepped for social housing, and Bannow House and an OPW office on Blackrock Road are set for lease or sale. As the Office of Public Works clears decades of idle property, these once-bustling government sites are finally finding new life—whether as homes, offices, or community spaces.
