Yes, it is a question on courthouse capital costs. I ask the Minister to outline the current position on the provision of a new courts complex in Limerick city. There is a proposal somewhere within the system to relocate the District Court, which at present is adjacent to the offices of Limerick City Council, either onto or adjacent to the campus of Limerick Prison, Mulgrave Street. When President Higgins visited Limerick yesterday, it was necessary to usher in the officers of Limerick City Council through the side door. This is a bone of contention in Limerick in respect of image.
