As the Deputy may be aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management and the administration of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions which include the provision of accommodation for court sittings. However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has provided details of works carried out since 2004 at Westport Courthouse as set out in the table.
