History
The barracks were built by James Switser on land provided by the Earl of Ormond as part of the response to the Irish Rebellion and completed between 1800 and 1803.A garrison church was added in 1852.
Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty the barracks was handed over to the forces of the Irish Free State in 1922 and renamed after James Stephens, the Irish Republican leader, in 1969. The barracks is now the home to the 3 Infantry Battalion.
