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 it is in the process of assessing site options in Tralee with a view to acquiring a site as soon as possible. Design work has not yet commenced, so there is no information on costings at this time.
