Sailors were trained on the Camp in McDonagh, my father was a Sgt., and used to train them, myself and Monica always looked forward to the completion of their training as they usually sent over a pressie for us usually a doll. I can still see them in their navy blue marching on the square.

RE Sailors on the Curragh.
As McDonagh was the main training establishment for the army it meant that the Boys From the Navy were always up in the Curragh on various courses. and always stood out in their smart Naval uniforms, and the click click of their foot wear as they marched about the barracks.
