Four former garda stations in Kerry were sold for over €300,000 in total.

The OPW released valuation reports relating to stations in Kerry following a Freedom of Information Act Request.

The Office of Public Works had possession of a number of buildings in Kerry, following the closure of some garda stations in the county in recent years.
