Clancy Quay

Clancy Quay (Irish: Cé Mhic Fhlannchaidh)[1] is a residential development of houses and apartments in Islandbridge, Dublin, Ireland.

The Clancy Quay development includes protected structures from the original barracks converted into residences,[2] as well as new apartment buildings.

[6] Samuel Lewis' Topological Dictionary of Ireland in 1837 described it as follows:[7] The Island bridge barracks, for artillery, are adapted for 23 officers and 547 men, with stabling for 185 horses, and an hospital for 48 patients.The British Army left the Islandbridge Barracks on 14 December 1922, following the establishment of the Irish Free State, and the barracks was handed over to the Irish Army.

[9] The Irish Army closed Clancy Barracks in 1998,[10] and the State sold the premises to David Kennedy's Florence Properties in 2002.

[9] In this time period, the former barracks also functioned as a major counting centre for the Pennies from Heaven appeal, which asked people across Ireland to donate old and foreign coinage, which was then sorted by volunteers.
