Cork Courthouse, Anglesea Street (Irish: Teach Cúirte Chorcaí, Sráid Anglesea)[1] is a judicial facility on Anglesea Street, Cork, Ireland. It serves as the Cork Court Office for matters of crime, while the courthouse on Washington Street serves as the court office for civil and family matters.[2] The Anglesea Sreet courthouse operates at the level of the District and Circuit Courts, and holds six courtrooms.[2][3]
Originally a school, the building was converted into a courthouse in 1995.[4] It closed again in 2015 for renovations, with the building's conversion into a courthouse being completed in 2018.[5] The courthouse was officially opened in May 2018 by Minister for Justice and Equality Charles Flanagan.[4]
Following a vote by Cork City Council, Anglesea Street is due to be renamed MacSwiney Street, in honour of the family of Terence MacSwiney,[6] though as of late 2022 no timeline for the change has been proposed.[7]
