Military Museum at Curragh?

Fooddestroyer

My Grandfather has me searching around Google for information on a military Museum at Curragh in Kildare.

As I cannot find anything on this, can anyone give me information on it, that is, if there is such a thing that exists?


Many thanks.

Many years ago I was on a course in the Curragh and as a treat we were brought to a "weapons museum" of sorts full of some fantastic guns from the old Tommie Gun to very old samples of rifles, swords etc etc. The building was wall to wall with brilliant displays. Run by 2 old sgts (I was very young at the time!!). I think someone said that a lot of the weapons were donated by some very wealthy American in his will..............

How would I find out for sure?

Don't want to give my old Grandpop a wasted run from Derry.

Thanks for the replies men.
