The Grand Jury was the most important local body in rural Ireland during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They were empowered to raise money by means of the county rates. They were responsible for the construction of roads and bridges and the upkeep of the lunatic asylums and hospitals. Members of the Grand Jury were selected by the High Sheriff from the leading property owners in the county.
