Columns of the Past: Carrick Courthouse Architecture

This event will be led by Sean Gill, a local history buff and Chairperson of the Carrick-on-Shannon and District Historical Society, who will share insights into the courthouse’s original design, aesthetic influences and the historical context that shaped its creation.
