People, Place and Power – The Grand Jury System in Ireland

III The Project is excited to have forged a research partnership with Local Government Archivists and Records Managers (LGARM). The Project warmly acknowledges LGARM, as well as the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, for its support in marking the centenary the attack on the Custom House on 25 May 1921, when the archives of the Local Government Board for Ireland were destroyed. Before county councils were established, grand juries ran local government. As People, Place and Power seeks to reveal, the grand jury records, which are held in local county archives across Ireland and in PRONI (Belfast), contain a wealth of information about every corner of this island.
