History of Cavan

A Public Enquiry found no culpability on the part of the nuns who ran the orphanage, but the circumstances surrounding the high death toll in the fire remain controversial to this day.

The former Cavan Town R.I.C. Barracks still stands on the corner of Farnham Street (also known as Casement Street) and Abbey Street. The current, modern Garda Station is further along Farnham Street, just across from the Courthouse
