🛡️ McCan Barracks

McCan Barracks is a barracks, in Templemore, County Tipperary in Ireland, which is used by both the Garda Síochána College and the Defence Forces. Originally built in the 19th century and known as Richmond Barracks, it was renamed in honour of Pierce McCan in the early 20th century. It took on the role as the national centre for training the Garda Síochána – Ireland's police force – in 1964 when Garda Headquarters in the Phoenix Park ceased to perform that role. The barracks also houses a small detachment of the Irish Army and is home to a unit of the Irish Army Reserve.
