Glencree Reconciliation

Untitled Slide

• Glencree was originally set up as a British military barracks.
• It later became a reform school and then a refuge for young Germans after WWII
• This was known as "Operation Shamrock"
• Glencree then became a peace centre in 1974

While there, we were taught that peace is more than not throwing bombs at each other and that putting up with something is different to accepting something
