Stormont department spends £40,000 a year on 24/7 security at derelict army barracks

A Stormont department spent £40,000 in the last financial year on providing round-the-clock security at a derelict army barracks in Co Tyrone.

The Department for Infrastructure owns part of the St Lucia Barracks site in Omagh and paid private security company G4S £39,552 last year to provide 24/7 security at the site.

There are currently no plans in place for the 15 acre site’s development, despite it sitting idle since it was gifted to the NI Executive in 2010 under the Hillsborough Agreement.
