  	BALLYMULLEN BARRACKS TRALEE COUNTY KERRY Ballymullen Barracks has a long history, work on the construction of Ballymullen Barracks began on 11th August, 1810, to facilitate Regular and Militia Units in Tralee. The barracks was completed, and the first troops took up residence, in 1815. It is estimated that the total cost of construction, was £17,500, and on completion, could accommodate 18 officers and 300 NCO’s and privates. This figure was subsequently increased, as additional accommodation blocks were added. Many well known and famous British Army regiments were posted to Ballymullen through the years, however the regiment that is perhaps best associated with Ballymullen Barracks, was the Royal Munster Fusiliers, who had their depot and Regimental Headquarters here.
