History
The building, which was designed by John Hargrave in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1814.[1] The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Tyrone County Council.[2] The county council moved to County Hall in Omagh in 1962.[3] On 15 August 1998 there was a car bomb attack on the courthouse initiated as part of a Dissident Irish Republican campaign;[4] it killed 29 people (including a woman pregnant with twins) and injured some 220 others.[5]
