Fort Shannon: a Case History in Anglo-Irish Cooperation During the Second World War (A Revised and Updated Version of What Appeared in the Irish Sword)
Fort Shannon: a case history in Anglo-Irish cooperation during the second world war (A revised and updated version of what appeared in The Irish Sword) D. de Cogan and S. Swords Introduction This paper is concerned with a battery comprising two six inch guns which was constructed at Ardmore Point on the south side of the river Shannon in 1942. The fact that Ireland was a neutral country during the war raises many questions, which have yet to be answered. We were led to this study through various routes. Research into the history of communications from Ireland led to a study of meteorological reporting, particularly the weather forecasting provision at the flying-boat base at Foynes during the second world war. This in turn led to a reassessment of Anglo-Irish collaborative arrangements during this period. There was an additional interest born of the war-time reminiscences of M.F. de Cogan (hereafter designated MFdeC), as related to his son, one of the authors. He had been involved in the construction of Fort Shannon, as the battery was called. Although this was some distance down-river from Foynes it could nevertheless have provided defensive cover for this facility. It was a massive undertaking at a time when raw materials were in short supply and there was no local source of manufacture. It was therefore most likely that the guns, other equipment and infra-structure were provided by Britain, but the questions, how? and why? remain. This paper represents a first attempt to address these issues. It is not an easy task, not least because much is still shrouded in secrecy.
