  • F Coy 15th Battalion, Listowel

    Have they finally left Slua Hall after all these years. I've seen some photo's on a friends Facebook page of the last ever fall in for past and present members.

    I remember Slua Hall when I was a youngster.

    Yes, only 16 locations were approved outside of manned military posts. Listowel isn't one. This scene has been repeated all over the country

            It would have become part of 32 Reserve Inf Bn on 1 Oct 2005.

            32 Res Inf Bn ceases to exist from midnight.

                    Are all the above locations part of the 16 non bks RDF posts ?

                      Well the building in Killarney was to be sold and all the mat'ls moved to Killorglin where a new building was after being built, that was 2/3 years ago, the building in Killorglin was being used as HQ building for D coy 32 Res Inf Bn but I think that is gone now, thats all gone and its been centralised to Ballymullen Bks AFAIK. Don't know what the situation is with non bks RDF posts, we don't have any anyway I don't think...

                          Killorglin is now the responsibility of HQ 12Bn and will be kept open and used for adventure training etc.We lost Lahinch.1Bn didn't want it.Camp closed.
                          "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

                            No harm. Apart from it's location its a kip.
                            At least killorglin has reasonable abolution, lecture and kitchen facilities.


                            Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
