Web launch of John McGahern Barracks Exhibition Reporter: 1 Apr 2021 A new permanent exhibition in the John McGahern barracks, Cootehall celebrates the contribution of McGahern to Irish literature );   ); John McGahern reminded us that everything interesting begins with one person and one place. What makes the barracks unique is that it was a home as well as a police station, in which gardai were family members, and in which a young boy developed a love of reading and went on to become one of Ireland’s finest writers. Through video, storyboards, photos and artefacts, a new permanent exhibition in the John McGahern barracks, Cootehall, Co. Roscommon, celebrates the contribution of McGahern to Irish literature. The exhibition also provides an insight into the nature of policing and an appreciation of village life in Ireland in the middle of the last century.
