Call to make Portlaoise courthouse a museum for Laois
Reporter:
The courthouse in Portlaoise should become a Laois history museum, a local councillor says.
The busy courthouse which has been criticised for bringing crime and anti social behaviour onto the Main Street, is planned to be moved to a new purpose built building in Portlaoise.
Cllr Noel Tuohy says the old building is ideal to become a museum and heritage centre for the town and county.
He tabled a motion to the March meeting of Portlaoise Municipal District, to ask the council to support efforts to open a centre in Portlaoise.
