Columb Barracks in Mullingar has been suggested as the possible location of the proposed new national headquarters of the Irish Army.
The idea was brought forward through a motion raised by Cllr Hazel Smyth at a Mullingar Kinnegad MD (MKMD) meeting on 8 May, as she said it’s in an “ideal location in the centre of the country” while also having a substantial history.
Cllr Smyth’s motion sought for the MKMD to write to the Department of Defence requesting that Columb Barracks be selected as the new Army HQ.
