    “Hillsborough Fort Guard was one of only two private armies in the United Kingdom, the other being the Duke of Atholl's Atholl Highlanders.

    The War Office attempted to disband the Guard in 1874; law officers, however, advised against it, and the War Office continued to pay £5 per warder per annum (equivalent to £578 in 2020), and a free uniform every two years to twenty of Lord Downshire's estate workers.”

    There were big celebrations for the 21st birthday of the Marquis in July 1892, which lasted several days, a banquet in the biggest marquee ever seen in Ireland, special trains to bring interested members of the public, illuminated addresses of congratulation from the tenants of his vast land , and also a spectacular firework display . All reported at great length in the press.

    But the only references to his private army was in the Northern Whig: "the armed warders in the uniform of the Dutch Guards could not but remind all present Saturday that the young Marquis holds office as Hereditary Constable of Hillsborough Fort. "

    Based on some of beachcomber australia's "see alsos", I think this is Scoil Mhuire in Derrybeg, Gweedore. There's a recording from the opening of the school on Youtube, which gives the date 4th April 1959 for the official opening by then Taoiseach Éamon de Valera.

    Gaeltacht Secondary School Opened And Blessed Historic Occasion In Derrybeg Ard Scoil Mhuire, Derrybeg, the first secondary school to qualify for a grant under the new scheme of Roinn na Gaeltachta to promote secondary school training in Irish speaking areas, was formally opened on Saturday by An Taoiseach, Mr. Eamon de Valera. The ceremony was attended by a large gathering of clergy and laity from the parishes of Gweedore, Annagry and Cloghaneely who came to mark an event of great significance in the development of Gaeltacht amenities. The school was blessed by his Lordship, Most Rev. Dr. McNeely, Bishop of Raphoe. The splendidly equipped college, was built and furnished at a cost of £11,000 and in honour of the occasion the building and grounds were decorated with bunting and flags.

Walsh, Letterkenny, was represented by Supt. C. V. Convery, Milford...
