Limerick Courthouse


Limerick Courthouse is a judicial facility at Merchant's Quay, Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland.

History

The building, which was designed by Nicholas and William Hannan in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1814. It was altered by James Pain in 1820. The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Limerick County Council. The county council moved to the County Buildings in O'Connell Street in 1911. After a modern courthouse facility was opened in Mulgrave Street in March 2018, the old courthouse at Merchant's Quay was converted into offices.
