Although the facilities for the garrison were improved with the addition of the first purpose-built quarters for soldiers (the "Irish Barracks") in 1670, the general accommodations were still in poor condition.
Kuigi garnisoni rajatisi täiustati 1670. aastal esimeste spetsiaalselt sõduritele ehitatud kvartalitega (“Iiri kasarmud”), olid majutustingimused üldiselt ikkagi kehvades tingimustes.
