McKee Barracks (Irish: Dún Mhic Aoidh[1]) is a military installation situated on Blackhorse Avenue near Phoenix Park in Cabra, Dublin, Ireland.
The choice of site was made on account of its proximity to the railway (by which troops could be transported anywhere in Ireland), excellent access to the sea / Dublin Port via the North Circular Road, and the training facilities for men and war horses.
[3][2][4] McKee Barracks is now an administrative centre where various Directors of Corps are based, as well as the location of the Irish Army Equitation School.
[5] In 2016, the barracks were used to depict the main entrance to Broadmoor Asylum for the film The Professor and the Madman, while an area of the Equitation School doubled as the Oxford railway station.
[7] The plans were prepared by the Royal Engineers' Department, under the direction of architect Major Robert Barklie RE, Larne, County Antrim.
