The provision of Court accommodation is, in the first instance, a matter for the Courts Service. The Commissioners of Public Works, acting on behalf of the Courts Service, have appointed an Architect as Design Team Leader for this project, and are arranging for the appointment of the other members of the Design Team. Consultations have taken place with local Court users, and it is anticipated that planning of the refurbishment and extension of Waterford Courthouse will commence shortly. I understand that further consultations with Court users will be undertaken by the Courts Service, as the project progresses.
