Mr. Brendan Ryan:

No. The Courts Service was established in 1999. Prior to 1999 all courthouses and the maintenance of same was the responsibility of the local authorities. Since 1999 we have been vesting some of the buildings and I just explained to Deputy Murphy that the buildings we do not require are being handed back for public use. We are responsible for the courthouses that we vested. The OPW works with us. We are a client of the OPW and it helps us.
