Post Garda Training Centre, O'Curry Street Limerick 31/05/2010
Not exactly military but not sure where it would fit in better. Hopped in to take a look at this building before work, not a lot left to see tbf except an amazing variety of wallpaper. Don't know much about the history of the place - if anyone can fill in on this that'd be great. It's listed as a protected structure/site under the Limerick development plan 2004 but it seems to be being left to rot since it closed. Here are some pics, in a bit of a hurry so not the best (apologies):

I must look at this again, I've been down a number of times in the last few years but it's always been well boarded up!

@slinky2000 - tbh we didn't hold out too much hope of actually getting in either but a wander round the building revealed an entrance, probably a result of a recent break in. It doesn't look like anyone has moved in, although I didn't check out the basement (not feeling too brave lol). I think we were probably just lucky to catch it before it's secured again, could be worth another look - you never know :)
