Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa Museum

This museum is dedicated to preserving the memory of these men and women, treating each with equal respect and dignity, and making their story available to the present generation. Since the 1880’s various groups have passed through the gates of Renmore Barracks, including the Connaught Rangers, the Irish Volunteers, both sides in the Civil War and An Chead Chath (1st Infantry Battalion). From this barracks soldiers have departed for India, the Boer War, the Western Front and Gallipoli. United Nations service has seen members of An Chead Chath deploy to countries including the Congo, Cyprus, Lebanon, Chad and Afghanistan. Formally the depot of the Connaught Rangers, Renmore barracks has been an Irish Army installation since 1922.
