2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 22 - Courts Service

Mr. Paul Burns:

In the last year we have looked at a number of properties there in conjunction with the local authority. The county council has been very helpful in suggesting potential sites. Most recently, a site was identified reasonably close to the county council offices, which we visited. Our colleagues in the OPW have made an assessment of it. From an architectural point of view, we are getting the valuation side of the OPW to examine the site and discuss matters with the local authority.
