City Court house quarter development reaches completion

Kilkenny City authorities and the OPW are to be complemented on  the major renovation works undertaken  at Kilkenny courthouse located on Parliament st Kilkenny.  A New public space has been completed in the city core as part of the works diagonally opposite  the historic Rothe house. The building was originally the  13th-century Grace’s Castle, which was given to city in 1568.  It  then  became the County Gaol,  continuing  to serve as a  gaol until the 18th century, when it was converted to  courthouse use. This use continues up to the present day.
