Devoy Barracks

Devoy Barracks (formerly Naas Barracks) was a military installation in Naas, County Kildare in Ireland.

History
The barracks were built for local militia units in 1813. They became the depot of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers when that regiment was formed in 1881. The Royal Dublin Fusiliers were disbanded at the time of Irish Independence in 1922. The barracks were secured by the forces of the Irish Free State in February 1922. The barracks, which were renamed Devoy Barracks after John Devoy, the Irish republican, closed in 1928 and the site was subsequently used for a variety of industrial uses. The Irish Army Apprentice School was established on the site in 1956 but closed in 1998 when the barracks were finally decommissioned.
