The Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland (CPW) acquired/assembled a development site at Hammond Lane, Dublin 8, over a number of years. The purpose of this acquisition was to facilitate the development of a Family Court complex and office accommodation for the Court Service.
Earlier this year, my colleague Helen Mc Entee, Minister for Justice and Equality announced funding from Budget 2020 to cover ongoing preparatory work for the Family Court complex and architects in my Department are currently engaging with the Courts Service on the design of that facility.
The transfer of the site to the Courts Service will take place at a future date and the matter of the value of the transfer will form part of the process.
