I am aware of the position in relation to the court house in Drogheda, County Louth and I can assure the Deputy that the matter is under examination. I am also aware that provision is being made for temporary alternative venues for court sittings.
The building in question is one of a number of courthouses throughout the country which require renovation. Since priorities have yet to be established between the different court houses requiring attention, I cannot indicate, at this stage, what priority can be given to the court house in Drogheda. I will continue to keep the matter under review.
