Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, at thepeerage, and here at wikipedia Ooh, a big entry at the Dictionary of irish Biography

His 7th son Robert Boyle is the lad from Boyle's Law: PV=k

This is not a memorial erected after his death: Boyle erected an elaborate monument to himself, his wives, his mother, and his children in The Collegiate Church of St Mary Youghal, County Cork

In Castlekevin lived a man called Roche when Cromwell was in Ireland. Crowmwell came to Castlekevin and beheaded Roche, and placed his head on a spear over the entrance gates. He gave the castle to a man named Nagle. He gave the lawn to one of his own soldiers a Connaught man. It is still known as the Connaught man's field.

When Cromwell came to Ireland one of the Roches-Lords of Fermoy- was living in Castlekevin, Mallow. Cromwell visited the castle and slew Roche and placed his head on one of the gate pillars. From there he marched to Mallow where he spent the night. The house where he slept in Mallow is still in use. It is a public house and is now owned by a family called Leary.

NIAH a bit sketchy today: No visible surface trace of castle; site now occupied by 19th-century country house (14870) which may incorporate part of earlier structure. Stone inserted on E wall of present house inscribed "1613/T/W/I". Human head carved in stone and now set in enclosing wall near house may have come from castle. Several Roches 'of Castlekiffyn' were pardoned in 1583 (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, 103), and Down Survey (1655-6) barony map shows a castle here; forfeited during Cromwellian wars and granted to Thornhill

Here's a possible name. Wicklow News-Letter and County Advertiser - Saturday 28 October 1916:

Bomb, and Acting-Sergt. A. Baker, clerk. R.F.A., Ballincollig, was found not guilty at court-martial at Cork on charges of having applied £5, the property of his commanding officer to liis own use, suppressed correspondence, applied to his own account moneys paid him for the purchase a wreath, and being unfit for duty owing to indulgence in drink.

Which one has the guilty innocent look?

There are still Barracks buildings at Ballincollig, a former cavalry barracks Streetview, but I don't see this building.

And in the same newspaper on March 18th:
Saturday 18 March 1916:

A protest against the action the Crown in remanding again and again Corporal J. W. Brodie. R.F.A., Ballincollig, on charge of bigamously marrying Hanna McCarthy was made by Mr. O’Driscoll, solicitor, at a Court in Bandon. Accused was again remanded.

I spent four years in Ballincollig (1 FAR) I don't remember the building in the background, or anything resembling it.

Not Ballincollig in 1916, but the 30th Reserve, RFA the previous year. Hull Daily Mail - Wednesday 18 August 1915:

ARTILLERYMAN'S DYING CHILD. Thomas Henry Keeley, 31, of Sultan street, Camberwell, driver in the 30th Reserve Battery of the Royal Field Artillery, was charged with being an absentee from Ins corps since Sunday last. When arrested by P.C. Hansford, the prisoner said the reason he did not back was that had a child lying very ill in Belgrave Hospital. Mr Biron committed the prisoner to await military escort. The prisoner, mentioning that the child might die at any moment, asked that he might allowed to visit the hospital before he was handed over to the military authorities. " We will try and manage that for you" replied Biron. His worship gave instructions the police accordingly.
