In a week when the public service is coming under attack, as a member of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights I visited the new criminal courts complex on Parkgate Street. We must commend the Courts Service in particular and the public service in general for bringing on stream such an impressive building with a great improvement in facilities for victims of crime, the accused and members of the public. They are to be commended for this excellent building.
