All Departments have to operate within certain financial constraints but I am sure the Senator will work hard to remove the obstacles that currently exist. The Government is aware of the value provided by our excellent court system and we continue to provide substantial resources to the Courts Service. I acknowledge that Main Street in Portlaoise is probably not an area in which crowds should be gathering. The incidents he outlined should not be occurring in a vibrant rural town, where people like to go shopping and where new library facilities are being developed. I am more than happy to do anything I can to facilitate the Senator and his local colleagues in identifying a new site.
