A new purpose-built headquarters for the army’s most elite soldiers is due to be built this year, as part of a series of infrastructure investments in the Defence Forces.

The new headquarters for the Army Ranger Wing (ARW), the special operations division of the Defence Forces, is due to be located in the Curragh Camp in Kildare.
