Four Courts - Dublin, Ireland
David's Been Here brings you to the historic Four Courts of Dublin, Ireland. Home to the Supreme Court, High Court, Circuit Court, and until recently, the Central Criminal Court, (hence the Four), this late 18th Century complex is a major site for Irish government & law. Loaded with Irish history, David displays some of the destruction leftover from the 1922 Republican occupation. If you're interested in Irish history, the Four Courts is a wonderful visit in the capital. For more information on the Four Courts and all of Dublin's main sites, check out the David's Been Here Guide to Ireland, now available for your Kindle as well.

Four Courts - Dublin, Ireland

Four Courts Along the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland
The Four Courts (Irish: Na Ceithre Cúirteanna) is Ireland's main courts building, located on Inns Quay in Dublin. The Four Courts is the location of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the High Court and the Dublin Circuit Court. Until 2010 the building also housed the Central Criminal Court; this is now located in the Criminal Courts of Justice.
The building originally housed the four courts of Chancery, King's Bench, Exchequer and Common Pleas, giving the name to the building.
Under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act (Ireland) 1877, these four courts were replaced by the Court of Appeal, presided by the Lord Chancellor, and the High Court of Justice, presided by Lord Chief Justice, but the building has retained its historic name.
On 14 April 1922 the courts complex was occupied by IRA forces opposed to the Anglo-Irish Treaty, led by Rory O'Connor. On 27 June the new National Army attacked the building to dislodge the rebels, on the orders of the Minister for Defence Richard Mulcahy, authorised by President of Dáil Éireann Arthur Griffith.
After being closed and nearly destroyed for almost a decade because of the Civil War and after the courts sat in the old viceregal apartments in Dublin Castle, the Four Courts were renovated and open once again. This is one thing that Ireland gained once again from the old buildings that carries a huge history along with the magnificent interiors and exteriors related to it. But in this case, we should mention that the interiors of the Four Courts was lost when the place was destroyed due to the absence of the documentary archives as well as the funds which were not present. The changes that were done these days to the Four Courts building changed the plan as well as the effect that was planned by Gandon in 1796.
The Four courts, which is most significant for the round hall and the dome, do not offer heritage tours but it allows the public to come inside and wander from Monday to Friday starting from 10 AM till 5 PM, and people are also allowed to go into the courtrooms and get the chance to observe most of the cases but one could not come into the courtroom when the case is being heard in private (on camera).
The Four Courts place is mostly known for being a landmark in Dublin for its exterior and the history one will get the chance to know about and hear, but when it comes to the interiors of the place, there is not much that one could see. When you are visiting Dublin, you should come across this place from the outside at least and if you are too keen to listen to any of the cases then it is better to check them online to know what are the cases listed for hearing.
We consider this place one that is rich with information, starting with being on old historical building that witnessed the Civil War and was even destroyed by it and at the same time it has been renovated and rebuilt once again so that it could be used one more time.
Placing this attraction on the list of things that one should do in Dublin city, Ireland, and the places that should be visited, it is important to mention that there are still several other places that one should step by when it comes to the capital city of Ireland to get more introduced to it and see all those important buildings and places that shaped its present now and managed to influence it.
Among the list of things to do in Dublin, one should visit the Merrion square which was the place where different well known characters were born and used to live and where there is the garden that attracts people to it by being a beautiful greenery space and at the same time having some statues and memorials inside (
In addition to the Merrion square, one could also enjoy walking in some of the streets that are known to be an attraction for shopping and culture, such as the O'Connell street ( or Grafton street (
Going through the list of places to visit in Dublin city, Ireland, we should also mention the Trinity College in Dublin which was found in 1592 and which tourists love to pass by ( you could also visit the Dublinia Viking Museum that will offer a lot of information about the history of the vikings and the medieval times of the city ( get to see the famous Molly Malone statue ( or else get the chance to ride the hop-on hop-off bus and go through a tour in the city (
Dublin is a city that one should definitely visit to know more about Ireland since it is the capital city and at the same time it carries a lot of attractions and landmarks that one will enjoy coming across.
The Four Courts might not be much interesting for lots of tourists to come inside, but it is definitely a place one will enjoy from the outside.

Four Courts Hostel, Dublin, Ireland. Staff Member Missing!!
Family Crisis! Leprechaun tragedy! Luggage!
All this and more as our most beloved staff member disappears! An upset father had this to say to the world's media earlier on this week...
Leon Rowsome - Four Courts of Dublin, Silver Spear, Old Bush, Green Gates
Son of the famous Leo, pictured here with his brother Liam; a web page about Leon is here, put together by his family: This track is from an LP issued by Walton's, the Dublin retailer, in the 1960s; as can be heard musically he was very much cut from the same cloth as his father, playing in an open chanter style with a constant beat kept on the regulators. While not quite the firebrand his Da was Leon was an excellent piper in his own right, and here we get to hear his take on tunes which we haven't heard on recordings of Leo, who always had very clear and melodic settings.
