A fine former hospital building with an elaborate street frontage with corner pavilions. For many years it was used as a courts building. Like many buildings around Ireland that were constructed by the Board of Works, there is a myth that the design was intended for a far-flung British colony – usually as a result of the exotic Victorian design.
