Ms Angela Denning:

The children's court is in poor condition but it has the advantage in being a large enough building for the number of users. The footprint of Dolphin House in Dublin simply is not large enough for the number of people who use it every day, and which leads to overcrowding and cramped conditions. When people who do not get on with each other have to sit in close proximity to each other it aggravates the problems. The building is not fit for the throughput of traffic and the type of work it has to deal with.
