County Hall, Longford
Municipal building in County Longford, Ireland
County Hall (Irish: Áras an Chontae, Longfoirt) is a municipal facility in Longford, County Longford, Ireland.
History
The site currently occupied by County Hall was once used as a fowl market.[1][2] Meetings of Longford County Council had previously taken place in Longford Courthouse[3][4] and a county secretary's office had been established in Dublin Road.[5][6] The county council meetings and county administration moved to modern facilities at the new County Hall in Great Water Street in 1992.[7] In 2018 the county council announced proposals for a new bridge to link County Hall to the Albert Reynolds Peace Park.[8]
