The original courthouse was constructed circa 1884. It has five bays and two storeys with an extension at each end comprising entrances and stairways. The courthouse follows a standard courthouse design attributed to William Caldbeck. It has a typically well designed Classical style employing good stonework detailing and early use of cast-iron for building components.
By 1998, the building required total refurbishment as it was completely infected with dry rot, wet rot and beetle attack. The refurbished building includes a large accessible courtroom with judge’s chamber to the rear, a legal practitioners’ room, consultation rooms, toilet facilities and disabled access.
Carrickmacross Courthouse is supported by Monaghan Court Office.
