        • RDFRA have now stuck an article up about Rockbrae House.

          Be interesting to see a list of all FCA locations down the years in Wicklow on both sides of the mountains.

            1946-1954 there was North Wicklow Bn and South Wicklow Bn.

            In 1959 that became 21 Inf Bn. And from 2005, C Coy 62 Res Inf Bn.

            There was Rockbrae House and Wicklow which were owned/leased.
            There was centres in Arklow and Rathdrum (which were rented for the few hours a week). In 2005 it was the same story for Tinahely (taken over from 10 Inf Bn in 2005)

            There used to be a centre in Newtownmountkennedy (not sure if owned/leased/rented).

            Strangely never heard anything at all about anywhere west of Bray/Newtown/Rathdrum until Tinahely came on board in 2005.

                The were on the map for the 2005 reorg but there was never centres there (not sure about before that)


                There was the North and South Wicklow Battalions in 1946. Never read anything about an units in West Wicklow

                    Nearest units, back in the day, for anyone in West Wicklow would have been 6 FAR in the Curragh or 10 Bn in Carlow !
                    Either that, or commute to Dublin to 2 Bde

                    • 10 bn as I mention above had a sub-unit in Carnew.

                      One of the problems with the re-org ( the 2005 one) was that pulling back from the rural subs made it almost impossible for anyone to be recruited and parade outside the major centres and it broke a lot of the regional links . Now we've debated this endlessly as to the usefulness but its worth pointing out.

                        Ahh but Carnew wouldn't be classed as West Wicklow. Almost in Wexford at that stage!

                            But won't you think of the children?

                            • The Army building behind the Garda station in Portlaoise is being given to the Gardai and a new location for the Army will be built at the Prison Service College.

                              The long-anticipated plan to redevelop Portlaoise Garda Station finally looks set to proceed. Garda Chief Superintendent John Scanlan confirmed that new plans for the station, which is the HQ of the Laois, Offaly, Kildare Garda Division, will go for planning within weeks. He hopes that once approved...

                              • This is a list of the properties that the DoD have sold since 2017.
                                The two houses in the Curragh worth over €150,000 each were "sold" to Kildare County Council for just €1 each. Again, business as usual at the useless DoD.
