The construction of a purpose-built family law courts complex at Hammond Lane is a key priority for the Courts Service and is included in the National Development Plan. Planning permission for the Dublin Family Courts complex was granted by the Commissioners of Public Works in April 2024.

The Dublin Family Courts Complex will be delivered by way of Public Private Partnership; it is being procured by the NDFA in conjunction with the OPW using the competitive dialogue procurement procedure pursuant to EU and national procurement law.

Subject to the successful completion of the procurement process in 2026, the current timescale envisages that construction will commence in 2027.
