Cavan County Council and Cavan Courts Service marked the 200th anniversary of the opening of Cavan Courthouse with a special event in recent days.
Attendees at the event, which was hosted by Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council, Cllr John Paul Feeley, included The Hon. Mr. Justice Alexander Owens, His Honour Judge John Francis Aylmer, Judge Brendan O'Reilly, CEO of the Courts Service, Angela Denning, TDs and Senators, Councillors, Barristers and Solicitors.
Addressing the gathering in the Council Chamber, Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council, Cllr John Paul Feeley said the doors of this Courthouse opened in a very different Ireland. Built to administer justice under the Crown, it now exists to serve the people of our republic.
He said it was his hope that it will continue both as a seat of justice and public administration and those who work within its walls, whatever their role, will adhere to their duty to serve the public good".
The building is today shared by Cavan County Council and the Courts Service, and encompasses the Council Chamber, two Courtrooms, and administrative offices for both Council and Courts staff.
