Hi,
I have a distant relative, Paul Evasked, who was in Cootehill (barracks?) in 1922, listed as a Private - Orderly. It lists his next of kin as his mother, Mary, living in Dundalk and he was Roman Catholic.
I know absolutely zilch about Ireland and its military history and any information that would pad this out, or hints as to where to look, would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.

I see he had a brother Peter also listed

There are a couple of trees online, the usual health warning applies over their accuracy, subject to confirmation, details include:
- Mary MacGinnis' father was called Michael MacGinnis;
- Joseph Evasked's father was called Simon Evasked;
- your connection Paul married Daisy Florence Dandridge in 1935 and died in 1962 in Henley, Oxfordshire.

As usual, you all have proved wonderfully helpful, not to mention swift!
Thank you all, very much.
