The new Mullingar Courthouse was officially opened in November 2018 by Minister for Justice and Equality Mr Charlie Flanagan T.D.

BAM refurbished and extended the existing courthouse at Mount Street, Mullingar, to include three courtrooms, improved custody facilities and court offices.

Mullingar Courthouse is the final project in the €149m Courts Bundle PPP that includes restoration, renovations and builds at seven courthouses across Ireland.

The contract also provides for the 25-year facility management of each courthouse. Mullingar’s new courthouse was developed around the existing structure which was built between circa 1824 and 1828.

Speaking at the opening, CEO of BAM Ireland Theo Cullinane said: “Our team has done exceptional work in preserving the courthouse’s original character while bringing the facilities up to date with the 21st Century. As it is a landmark building in the heart of Mullingar, it was important that we delivered a project of which the community can be proud.

Throughout the Courts PPP we have been working to enhance court services and facilities around the country and we’re pleased to deliver another first-class project. Well done to the project teams involved” (image l-r: Theo Cullinane - CEO BAM Ireland, Minister Charlie Flanagan, Chief Justice Frank Clarke, Ger Harrington - COO BAM Ireland (Building, Property, FM)
