History
The barracks, originally called New Barracks, were built on land leased from a Mr J.T. Monsell and were completed in 1795.[1] The barracks were handed over to the Irish Army following Irish Independence and renamed Sarsfield Barracks after Patrick Sarsfield, a Jacobite, in 1926.[2] The barracks remain in use and are currently the headquarters of 12th Infantry battalion.[3]
