Ballymullen Barracks

Ballymullen Barracks is a military installation at Tralee, County Kerry in Ireland.

History
The barracks were built for local militia units between 1810 and 1815. They went on to become the depot of the Royal Munster Fusiliers when that regiment was formed in 1881. The Royal Munster Fusiliers were disbanded at the time of Irish Independence in 1922. The barracks were taken over by the Irish Republican Army in February 1922 and then secured by the forces of the Irish Free State in August 1922. The barracks continued to be used by the Irish Army and a newly refurbished headquarters block was opened at the barracks in April 2002. The site was also used as a reception centre for asylum seekers until the centre closed in 2005.
