Munitions Factories in Ireland during the Great War

A while ago I posted a link to a National Archives photo on the now defunct Dublin.ie forum re munition workers at a shell factory in Dublin

There seems to have been a Shell Factory and a Fuse Factory on the Parkgate site in Dublin. There also appear to have been shell/cartridge factories in Cork, Waterford and Galway. The Dublin site was expected to be in "full swing" 1st March 1916; the first shell was produced in Galway in February 1917.
