The Irish State came into existence on 6 December 1922. At this time the creation of a new system of courts remained unfinished business.

In January 1923 a Judiciary Committee was appointed to advise the Irish government on the establishment of a new court system. Its report was followed by the enactment of the Courts of Justice Act 1924 that set out the system of courts that remains at the heart of the Irish judicial system to this day.

This event will feature a number of short talks aimed at the general public designed to celebrate this important centenary.
