As the Deputy will be aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts, including the provision of accommodation for court sittings, is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions.

However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that internal upgrading works were carried out to Killarney Courthouse to improve the condition of the building in 2009. The Courts Service is currently in discussions about improving the bathroom facilities in the building for court users.
