Wexford County Council looking at several potential uses for old New Ross courthouse building

Raised by recently independent councillor Michael Sheehan, Chief Executive of Wexford County Council Eddie Taaffe spoke of the potential that the building has. "We are looking at a number of options,' he said. 'There are a couple of aspects to this building. The courtroom is obviously that bit larger. It could potentially be used for different public events. Then there are offices at the back, so it could be a dual use building. "As you know, we've acquired the old pub building (The Bumblebee) beside it too, so it will form part of a bigger plan for the area.' The courthouse was purchased under the Building Acquisition Measure (BAM) funded under the Department of Rural and Community Development DRDC.
