English: Clancy Quays is a new development of high quality apartments situated in the heart of Dublin City. It offers our occupants benefits of city living such as easy access to work either by walking, bus or taking Dublin’s newest transport system the Luas.
Clancy Barracks, formerly known as Islandbridge Barracks, dates from about 1857. It is sited on the south bank of the river Liffey and close to one of the most westerly of Dublin city's bridges, Islandbridge, formerly known as Sarah Bridge. The barracks has had a long association with artillery, cavalry, and ordnance.
The barracks was taken over by the Irish Army on the 15th December 1922 when a rifle company commanded by Captain Condon was sent to take over Islandbridge Barracks. In that Company was Captain Robert Fitzgerald who was the first Officer Commanding.
It was renamed Clancy Barracks in 1942 after Peader Clancy, a County Clare man killed during the War of Independence in 1920.
The barracks has been associated with various military events including the Crimean War, the Boer War, World War 1, and the 1916 rising
