I ask that the President of the High Court, who decides where court sittings take place, look at County Donegal in a different light. While efficiencies may have been secured in respect of a couple of officials, the new system is not more efficient for clients of the court. The current position is akin to appeals initiated in County Cork being heard in Galway. People in County Cork would make a fuss if that were the case. The changes inconvenience court users and have resulted in only minimal efficiencies. While sittings in Sligo may be acceptable, having the court sit in Castlebar is out of the question.
