Given that many of the Barracks listed in the original thread's poll are now closed. I'd like to start a new poll (to include ALL DF Property) to reflect the statements from the White Paper 2015 and the PWC report which stated the same over 20 years prior.
As well as the poll, I'd like this thread to become an outline version of the study the PWC Report and the White paper calls for.

"There is a need to close barracks. many of the barracks currenlty occupied exist NOT for operational reasons but for historical and/or outmoded territorial occupation reasons. The cost of upkeep has reached unacceptable levels and will only increase over time.
This issue requires in-depth study in its own right.
(The Study) will need to be aligned with the re-organisation proposals and man power plan. Each facility will have to be looked at in terms of necessity in the new structures, its manning levels, its market value and the potential to redeploy the personnel involved elsewhere which will also mean looking at redeployment costs in the receiving facility.
The study needs to be undertaken as a matter of urgency and any further significant investment in the current infrastructure should await the outcome of that study.

6.7 Development and Maintenance of Infrastructure
In the context of maintaining and developing military capability, the term infrastructure refers to all buildings and permanent installations including, but not limited to barracks, the airfield, naval base, training lands, medical facilities, stores, ranges, maintenance workshops, etc., necessary for the support of the Defence Forces.
There is a requirement to carry out major building refurbishment in a number of areas including Haulbowline, Casement Aerodrome, McKee Barracks and the Curragh Camp. The cost of this programme of essential capital projects cannot be met from existing funding.
there is a need to develop within the Department of Defence, a coordinated infrastructure development plan. This development plan will reflect on a priority needs basis, an approach for all infrastructure development requirements for the life time of this White Paper. The first step in the completion of such a plan will be an assessment of the main barracks and facilities across a number of criteria
