With all the increased money allocated to prisons, there is a feeling that money going into capital projects in the Courts Service has been restricted. Works need to be carried out in the court house in Mallow. When is the work in Hammond Lane due to commence or be completed or both? All the money seems to be going to Hammond Lane. There is no wheelchair access in the court house in Tralee in this day and age. Are there any plans to put wheelchair access into this court house because we can see that no court house will be constructed or refurbished in Tralee before 2027? In the mean time, does the Minister not think it appropriate to do the works on the roof in Mallow - it appears that there are problems in refurbishing that court house - and make Tralee court house wheelchair-accessible? That people in wheelchairs find that court house inaccessible must be breaching all kinds of regulations, decency and fairness.
