Four Courts

The building of the Four Courts ( Four Courts Irish: Na Ceithre Cúirteanna ) in Dublin is the most important court building in Ireland. It is home to the Supreme Court, the High Court and the Central Criminal Court of the Republic of Ireland.

The building was built in 1796-1802 under the direction of renowned architect James Gandon, who also designed the Custom House, on the Liffey. Originally, the building in the Court of Chancery ( Court of Chancery ), the King 's Bench, housed the Tax Court ( Court of Exchequer ) and the Court of Common Pleas, whence derives his name. In a legal reform in the late 19th century the judicial structure in Ireland has been redesigned, but the historical name of the building was preserved.

1916 Four Courts from Edward Daly used during the Easter Rising and the Irish civil war was over.

After a remodeling Four Courts was opened in 1932 again. Although it is one of Dublin's finest buildings, the Four Courts was for decades little attention. With the move of the Irish Courts Service in the building promises a return to former glory.
