HistoryThe War Office leased the {{convert|5|acre|m2|adj=on}} and twenty seven perches from the Archdale family on 10 April 1875 for sixty pounds per annum. The lease ran for 999 years or until the War Office ceased to use for military purposes or sublet, assigned the premises for use other than military. The original lease is still held by the Ministry of Defence.[1] The site was acquired as part of the Cardwell Reforms which encouraged the localisation of British military forces.[2] The barracks became the depot for the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot and the 108th (Madras Infantry) Regiment of Foot.[3] Following the Childers Reforms, the 27th and 108th regiments amalgamated to form the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers with its depot in the barracks in 1881.[4] In 1924 the barracks also became the depot of the Royal Irish Fusiliers.[5] An Auxiliary Territorial Service camp was established on the site during the Second World War and Lisanelly Camp was built on an adjacent site around this time.[4] The base was the subject of a botched proxy bomb attack on 24 October 1990, when the main charge of the bomb failed to explode.[6] The barracks closed in 2007 as part of the demilitarisation of Northern Ireland according to the Good Friday Agreement. Eventually, an environmentally friendly PSNI station was built on the grounds next to the existing St Lucia barracks site in 2010.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theyworkforyou.com/ni/?id=2012-11-27.7.1|title=St Lucia Site, Omagh|publisher=Northern Ireland Assembly|date=27 November 2012|accessdate=28 October 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9383385/Echoes-of-the-past-in-these-Army-cuts.html|title=Echoes of the past in these Army cuts|date=8 July 2012| accessdate= 13 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/depot/1873.htm |title=Training Depots |publisher=Regiments.org |accessdate=16 October 2016 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060210172841/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/depot/1873.htm |archivedate=10 February 2006 |df= }} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.operationbanner.com/news.asp?StotyID=73|title=Future of St Lucia and Lisanelly Barracks|date= 25 October 2007|accessdate=11 October 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://army.mod.uk/infantry/regiments/5947.aspx|title=The Inter-War Years|publisher=Ministry of Defence|accessdate=12 October 2014}} 6. ^English, p. 126 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.u.tv/News/Omagh-gets-green-police-station/3c7d0c97-9d23-48e5-9b14-ebcdd7c9b59d |title=Omagh gets green police station|date= 14 September 2010|publisher=Ulster TV|accessdate=12 October 2014}} Sources
