About Fermoy

Fermoy is a town on the River Blackwater in County Cork, Ireland. Its population is about 5,800, environs included. The town's name comes from the Irish and refers to a Cistercian abbey founded in the 13th century.

The Christian Brothers, the Presentation and Loreto Sisters maintain a presence in the town. Fermoy was the site of a major British Army barracks, when Ireland was under imperial rule. In 1797, when the army was looking to establish a new and permanent base, Anderson gifted them the land as an inducement to locate in Fermoy. Anderson and the town received considerable economic benefit from the arrangement. In 1806 the first permanent barracks, the East Barracks, were built. They were located on 16½ acres of land and provided accommodation for 112 officers and 1478 men of infantry, and 24 officers, 120 men, and 112 horses of cavalry. A general military hospital of 130 beds was also built. In 1809 West Barracks was built. This also had a 42-bed hospital. When both barracks were complete there was accommodation for 14 field officers, 169 officers, 2,816 men, and 152 horses.
