This courthouse dominates the High Street and is the town’s most distinctive building. The architect of this magnificent structure was John Hargrave of Cork. The structure, as seen today incorporates the plan of an Old Market House around which it was built. It was constructed in two parts between 1814 and 1863 at a cost of £17,000. The Tuscan columned portico was added in 1824. The building has a fine, recently restored interior.
