                                  INTRODUCTION

The British Military Barracks in Tipperary town was an integral part of the town's economy and history for almost half a century. While the history and heritage of the town and it's surrounding areas is well documented, no specific record of the Old Military Barracks has been compiled. This website is intended to contribute in some way to filling this void.

The website is non profit making, and has been compiled totally in the interest of furthering the research and study of both local and military history.
