It was recently revealed that inside Kanturk Courthouse that there were writings on walls of old cells know as " The Bridewell " at the back of the building, written by people held captive during war of independence and civil war which should be preserved for its place in history. This is a landmark & iconic building in Kanturk but this building needs a lot of maintenance otherwise it will fall into dereliction, there is a fine old structure to this building but the roof & inside of the building needs a lot of maintenance work. There are coded messages to families and some about escape plans from the War Of Independence & the Civil War period a century ago. This is all part of history & should be preserved.
