Hello all,

It is fantastic to get an explanation of the "New Geneva" reference so thanks Jim and Big Tim for those. Passage East is opposite Duncannon on the Suir estuary just a few miles from Waterford city, so that ties in nicely with the Duncannon story. It is likely that they were opposing forts defending the estuary, common around the coast. I thought a barracks in Wexford was just as plausible until I followed the lead and found this reference on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Barracks.

Still a bit of a mish-mash with Croppy Hill, Wexford Hill, Geneva Hill etc etc.

AND if even a 1968 song book has Dungannon in it, I have to agree with Malcolm that it is unlikely that there is a definitive version anymore. So maybe I'll make up my own.

Thanks everyone
