Tullamore
In the first half of the nineteenth century a number of grand courthouses were built in larger country towns. The earliest of these is in Dundalk designed by Edward Parke and John Bowden in 1819, followed by William Morrison's more monumental buildings in Carlow and Tralee of the late 1820s. The example built in Tullamore in 1833 is by J.B. Keane who had worked as an assistant to the Morrisons.
