I know it is of interest to the Deputy and it is a subject the committee can return to in due course. It would be useful to get detail on the A3 line item, which would allow us to see the stages of progression of courthouses around the country. I will be making a submission on Naas courthouse. I will not delay the committee with it now. It is one of the largest districts in the country, serving Kildare and west Wicklow. With the closure of the Kilcock courthouse, it means that all business is effectively being done in one building in Naas. I might return to that on another occasion.
