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, expect to be in a position shortly to carry out site investigation works. Following this, arrangements will be made to appoint a number of Consultants whose services are necessary in order to progress the project to planning permission stage and to enable production of detailed drawings, specifications and a Bill of Quantities with a view to tenders for construction being invited. It is envisaged that commencement of construction will be in 2011, subject to approval of the Courts Service and availability of financial resources.
