It played a central role in the War of Independence and Civil War, with the Minihan family very active in both conflicts. Described by Frank Barrett as "barracks, hospital and hotel", such historic figures as Eamon deValera, Countess Markievicz and Peadar O'Donnell have stayed here as guests of Staff Commandant John Minihan, a senior republican.
