Finner Camp (Irish:Campa Fionnabhair) is a military installation nearBallyshannon inIreland.
The barracks, which were built on a site known for itsmegalithic tombs,[1] were completed in 1890.[2] Following theAnglo-Irish Treaty the barracks were handed over to the forces of theIrish Free State in 1922.[1] In the Second World War, it was close to theDonegal Corridor. In August 1969 there was false speculation in the media thatTaoiseachJack Lynch would use the barracks to launch an invasion ofNorthern Ireland with the aim of protecting the Catholic community there.[3] The barracks are now the home of 28th Infantry Battalion,Irish Army.[4]
