At the request of the Office of Public Works in 2018, the Valuation Office provided their opinion of the current market rental value of the Spa Lodge as being €1,800 per month. There were no annual revisions made to the valuation.

The OPW understands from An Garda Síochána that the former Garda Commissioner took up occupancy of the Lodge in February 2019.
