The Royal Dublin Fusiliers were disbanded at the time of Irish Independence in 1922.[3] The barracks were secured by the forces of the Irish Free State in February 1922.[1] The barracks, which were renamed Devoy Barracks after John Devoy, the Irish republican, closed in 1928 and the site was subsequently used for a variety of industrial uses.[1] The Irish Army Apprentice School was established on the site in 1956 but closed in 1998 when the barracks were finally decommissioned.[1]
