Courthouse to reopen in January after €26m facelift

The Irish Times

The €26 million refurbishment of Cork's courthouse is on target with the building set to reopen by the end of January. The refurbishment is the most extensive work on any court building in Ireland since the reconstruction of the Four Courts after the Civil War, according to the Courts Service. "It is now a 21st century courthouse which will hopefully provide for the needs of the people of Cork for the next two centuries," said a spokesman. The courthouse, which is on Washington Street, is a protected building.
