The Public Accounts Committee has recommended the Office of Public Works ensures timelines are met for disposing of vacant garda stations.
The OPW owns four former stations in Kerry.
Between 2012 and 2013, 139 garda stations were closed around the country as part of a rationalisation programme.
The OPW told the Dáil's Public Accounts Committee that it disposed of 36 former stations between 2014 and 2016.
The disposal of stations was paused until 2018 due to a Garda review on the vacant properties; the programme resumed in 2019.
The OPW says there are 49 vacant garda properties being prepared for disposal or under consideration for community or county council use.
The OPW owns former garda stations in Kerry located in Ballylongford, Brosna, Moyvane and Camp.
Ballylongford and Camp are being retained for state use, Brosna is being prepared for sale and Moyvane is being examined for state or community use.
PAC said as some Garda properties nationally have been vacant for up to a decade the OPW has not been pro-active enough in maximising the potential of the State's assets.
It recommends the OPW actively works to ensure timelines for disposal are met, other vacant garda properties are reviewed and plans developed for them and that decisions on state or community use be made by the end of the year.
PAC has requested the OPW reports back to it before December to outline its progress.
