Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / January 11 2002: Courthouse to be turned into €7.4m arts centre

Carrick-on-Shannon's 19th-century courthouse, which has lain idle for nearly a decade, is to be transformed into a €7.4 million arts centre. At one stage in the early 1990s there were plans to demolish the listed building, which is in the centre of town on the banks of the Shannon. But now it will become the first major arts centre in Co Leitrim, incorporating a 130-seat performance space, a gallery, workshop and educational areas and a cafe.
