Thanks for posting those pictures. I spent some time at Connolly Barracks Longford in 2003 - didn't think much of the place to be honest - both the barracks and the town. Supposedly the barracks was haunted by a dead British Soldier who appeared at the back gate and the main square from time to time during the early hours.....Never saw it myself during guard duty but I remember some lads were adamant they had seen it! If memory serves me correctly the Royal Irish Constabulary were based in the Barracks prior to the Irish Army taking over. I was wondering what was going to happen to the Comet tank after I heard the place was going to close - now I know. Good to see it in Custume Barracks now.
