Wexford Courthouse is a judicial facility on Belvedere Road in Wexford, County Wexford, Ireland.
History
The building was originally designed as an educational establishment and opened as the Tate School in March 1867.[1] After the school got into financial difficulties and closed in 1949, the building was acquired by Wexford Corporation in 1950.[1] It served as the offices of Wexford Corporation until 2007.[2] It was subsequently sold to the Courts Service for conversion into a courthouse to replace the aging courthouse on Hill Street which had been built in 1930.[3][4] The building on Belevedere Road was officially re-opened as a courthouse by Charles Flanagan, Minister for Justice and Equality, and Frank Clarke, Chief Justice of Ireland, in February 2018.[5]
