Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2020
303. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the financial resources required to refurbish and maintain Carndonagh courthouse, County Donegal, will be provided in line with the findings of a recent structural report carried out for the Courts Service. [12312/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts, including the provision of accommodation for court sittings, is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that the position on the future of Carndonagh Court House is unchanged from that which I related in a similar parliamentary question (No. 419) put to me by Deputy Charlie McConalogue on 5 March 2020. The Courts Service has no further progress to report at this time on their consideration of the survey report received earlier this year.
The question of seeking funding to make further significant investment in Carndonagh will be considered later this year.
