Customs Hut

Omeath County Louth🏛️Building

This seemingly innocuous corrugated steel hut was once an important government building. With partition and the establishment of the Free State in 1921, and the ensuing civil war which followed, it was 1923 before the first Customs stations appeared on the landscape, of which this was one. Their rounds included the ferry at Narrow Water, the lower shore, Jack’s Harbour, Omeath Quay, the Railway Station and Greer's Quay.
