Public Accounts Committee

2013 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 22 - Courts Service

11:30 am

Mr. Brendan Ryan:

There are a couple of old buildings that have to be preserved, but they will not be part of the fabric of the court building which will be 7,600 sq. m. It will include six courtrooms, custody facilities, court offices and associated facilities. To let the Vice Chairman know, we will, of course, be holding onto the courthouse on the river to deal with civil and family law business. As he knows, it is a fine courthouse, but it is not suitable for current purposes.
