History
The courthouse, which was designed by William Farrell in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1824.[2] A memorial outside the building commemorates Thomas Ashe,a member of the Gaelic League, the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and a founding member of the Irish Volunteers.[3] The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Cavan County Council.[4]
