All gone: OSI 25" map Ok, nearly all: A gateway in streetview (visible from the other side in the middle distance in today's shot), and what the NIAH thinks is an Officers House. The barracks is still marked on the 1930s Cassini 6". the unfortunate events of Civil War destroyed the place

I was wrong above - Not the reverse view, but the backside / frontside of the barracks. Tower and dome is a constant. See the 25" map.

A quick Google says that when handed over by the British it had accommodations for 18 officers and 400 men

I think the photographer is on top of St. Mark's Church to get this angle. Reverse Streetview

Gough Barracks.

Now known as Sarsfield Barracks it is an Irish Army Barracks in Limerick City. It houses both Permanent and Reserve Defence Forces. The barracks is named after Patrick Sarsfield, and is currently the Head Quarters of units of the Southern Brigade Reserve Defence Forces. The march composer Kenneth Alford was posted here with the Royal Irish Fusiliers. See more images and hear his march at link, www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSGttA6IwC4

Ah yes, I remember it well. The building just out of sight on the right was the Officers Mess, the PE/Assembly hall is that building at the end of the square with the glass cupola on top. The buildings on the left were matched with similar buildings on the right and were the billets where the troops lived.

Is this the same Barracks whose wall faces Roden St ?

happyquails I believe so...

Bada Bing!
