McCan Barracks (Irish: Dún Mhic Cana) is the site of two agents of the Irish state: the Garda Síochána College and the Defence Forces. It is located in Templemore, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is named after Pierce McCan.[1] It took on the role as the national centre for training the Garda Síochána – Ireland's police force – in 1964 when Garda Headquarters in the Phoenix Park ceased to perform that role. The barracks is home to a unit of the Irish Army Reserve and also houses a small detachment of the regular defence forces (Irish Army).[1]
