Birr or Crinkill Barracks

[edit]

Looking around at information and sources about this barracks, it would appear that it is referred to as Birr Barracks far more frequently than Crinkill Barracks. On Google Birr Barracks gets more hits (103k) than Crinkill Barracks (21k), and in the British newspapers archives Birr Barracks gets thousands of results in comparison to a handful for Crinkill/Crinkle. Even in recent coverage here, here, and here, it is referred to as Birr Barracks. I think it's time for the article to reflect the more common name? Smirkybec (talk) 21:55, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given the conversation here and of the WikiProject Ireland talk page, we have a small but relatively conclusive support for the move, so I'm going to be bold :) thanks all Smirkybec (talk) 09:07, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
