The Deputy will be aware that, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, the Courts Service is independent in the performance of its functions and I have no role in the matter.

However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that while they are in discussions with Drogheda Borough Council about the accommodation for the District Court office in Drogheda they are not in a position at the present time to confirm a date for vacation of the current premises.
