285 Deputy Brendan Kenneally asked the Minister for Finance if the plans for the Waterford Courthouse were completed and received by the end of 2009 as was previously indicated; and if these plans are available for viewing. [1617/10]
View answerThe provision of Court accommodation is, in the first instance, a matter for the Courts Service. Preliminary plans have been prepared for the refurbishment and extension of the Courthouse in Waterford, taking account of initial discussions with the Judiciary locally, staff, and court users. Further consultations regarding these plans will be undertaken in January 2010. It is intended to complete the planning process and to prepare tender documents in the course of 2010, with a view to work commencing on site in 2011, subject to the availability of resources.
