History

The courthouse, which was designed by John B. Keane in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1849.[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 first meeting place for Waterford County Council.[2] However it was agreed that subsequent meetings would be held at Dungarvan Courthouse.[2] Following an extensive refurbishment and expansion, the Waterford Courthouse was officially re-opened by Charles Flanagan, Minister for Justice and Equality, in April 2018.[3]

gollark: So I thought "what if I made the random stuff API secretly running 28% of osmarks.net even more convoluted by integrating a trivial LDAP server to just return some data from a config file, and also connecting this with the HTTP frontend for nginx subrequest authentication?".
gollark: However, OpenLDAP was very annoying.
gollark: It would be convenient if I had this "single signon" capability for osmarks.net internal systems.
gollark: Well, you know how many applications support authentication via LDAP?
gollark: It's a rhetorical question, I know it's a conspiracy by cryoapioforms secretly controlling OpenLDAP.
