Is the Minister aware that there was a structural collapse in the Cavan courthouse which nearly caused the death one of the workers when preparing for the recent referendum? Is he further aware that the court made an order that the courthouse should be repaired and put in order for the holding of Circuit and High Court cases? Would he tell the House when some action will be taken on this matter?

I am aware of a particular problem in relation to the Cavan courthouse and the Deputy will be aware, because the matter has already been mentioned in this House——

There was an adjournment debate on it but we are not moving.

——that steps have been taken to ensure that the work is carried out.

Is the Minister aware that clients have to travel from the Cuilcagh Mountains in the west of Cavan to Bailieboro to attend Circuit Court hearings and that this is putting an untoward hardship on citizens?

That is one of the factors which led to a particular course of action being followed in relation to the courthouse in Cavan.
