What is recorded here

Kiltyclogher Courthouse went from hearing court cases to housing a pre-school. “He took mine.” “I did not.” “There are witnesses.” You’d wonder whether they needed to change anything except the height of the coat hooks.

This former civic building is one of social and historical importance. Constructed as a market house and later serving as a court house, it has played a vital role in the town's development. The significance of this structure is exemplified by its architectural design and the dominant position which it occupies in the town, being located at the intersection of four roads.
