Kanturk Courthouse

 




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.

This building simply has to be saved & preserved

There has to be a worthwhile use for this loved building.

All About The Christmas Lights In Kanturk

Kanturk Christmas Lights Committee has decided to go ahead & erect as many of the Christmas lights as possible again this year.  They feel that it’s important for the businesses of the town and it creates a feel good factor for visitors and the general public who during these difficult times need a moral boost & a bit of festive spirit.  The Kanturk lights are all new modern LED’s which are energy efficient & cost little to run over the Christmas period. For those who supply electricity for the lights, our electricians estimate the cost will be no more than €30 per business/household for the whole duration from early December to mid-January. We would like to thank all those businesses & households who agree to put up the lights on their premises & houses as well as supplying the electricity at their own expense.
