History

The site currently occupied by the Civic Offices was the location of the county gaol from the late 18th century. [1] The current building, which was originally designed as a militia barracks, was completed in 1875. [2] South Tipperary County Council, which had previously held its meetings in Clonmel Courthouse, [3] moved into the premises in 1927. [2] The county council initially referred to the facility as the "County Council Offices" [2] but latterly referred to it as "County Hall". [4] The building was subsequently extended eastwards along Emmet Road and the county library, on the opposite side of Emmet Road, was completed in 1987. [5] Since 2014 it has been used as offices for Tipperary County Council. [6]
