General Scheme of the Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Angela Denning:

Coroners' fees are a policy matter. That is a question for the Department of justice. I understand there is a piece of work under way in relation to coroners. In relation to Tralee Courthouse, the Courts Service has purchased a site in the town for development as a four courtroom courthouse. We currently have 102 court venues nationwide and Killorglin forms part of that estate. We are funded for our capital programme through the national development plan and we have a number of projects nationwide that we would like to see done. We had a board meeting last week. In relation to Tralee, we will see work starting for the pre-planning process that we have to do. There is an amount of preliminary work that has to be done under the infrastructure guidelines. We will see that work start for a number of courthouses nationwide.
