Can the Taoiseach find out for me when works will commence on the railings of Carlow Courthouse? I have been consistently on to the Minister and the Office of Public Works to see when they will begin but I have, as yet, received no answer. I understand the project is happening in phased stages. This is an issue that requires transparency regarding its timeframe.

The repeated deferral of the start date is unacceptable. The courthouse was built nearly 200 years ago. It is right in the town centre. I have been raising the issue for years now. It is not like I am only coming to the Taoiseach after a short time. It has been going on for years. Even in my time as a Senator, it was meant to be done. It is unacceptable. I ask the Taoiseach to get some answers on the matter. I would greatly appreciate it.
