The Army Apprentice School (AAS), situated in John Devoy Barracks, Naas, County Kildare closed in 1998.

The School was established on August 16, 1956 when the Irish Defence Forces (Óglaigh na hÉireann) recognised the need for suitably trained craftsmen within the Army and Naval Service. Previous to this, the Barracks had been the Depot of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers until independence.

The Motto of the school was "Ni Obair In Aisce Í" meaning "There is no work without gain"
