The March 17, 1960 fire. This effectively spelled the beginning of the end of the Irish Fusiliers militia regiment. The regiment was placed on Supplemental Order of Battle five years later on 19 March 1965. The cadets corps affiliated with the regiment would survive another nearly 40 years, mostly due to the regimental association.
