203. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if the car park at the new Drogheda courthouse has been transferred to the Office of Public Works; if so, if the car park will be made available to the public for the Christmas trading period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 the transfer of the site in front of Drogheda Courthouse to the Commissioners of Public Works is at an advanced stage and the future use of the site will be a matter for the Commissioners to determine following the completion of the transfer.
