court_houseWe finally arrive at the Courthouse. This was built in 1842. Be hind it was the Bridewell Jail. Prisoners awaiting trial were locked up here.
Famous prisoners included O'Donovan Rossa (who was a Fenian leader) and Tim Cadigan, who murdered the Landlord's agent. Tim Cadigan was the last person to be hanged in Cork Jail.

 

This is the end of our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed working on this project.
