I will speak about Tralee courthouse. We can take it as read that Tralee town centre is a priority, as are all town centres. I know that some of the Ministers and Ministers of State, including the Minister of State with special responsibility for heritage, are lovers of historic buildings. The courthouse in Tralee is a part of the folklore of the town but since 1989 the plans to refurbish it have not been used. A refurbishment of the existing building could keep it in the historic town centre location for evermore. The An Post site there is for sale and we could tailor a new extension into this, but the Courts Service needs to be given funding in a swift and fearless manner so it can purchase that site. Kilkenny courthouse was refurbished at a cost of €16.8 million, but the Courts Service intends to move the plans for Letterkenny courthouse, at a cost of €19.7 million, to another location. Savings can be made from keeping Tralee courthouse where it is and I ask that funding be made available in a timely manner for this purpose.

I thank the Deputy. I will raise this issue concerning the courthouse with the Minister for Justice. I spend a lot of money in my Department refurbishing empty courthouses and repurposing them for other uses, but I take the Deputy's point and I will raise it with the Minister for Justice.

Regarding Deputy Healy-Rae's question, yes, he is correct. These grants have been at the same amount of money since I went onto Monaghan County Council, and that was not today or yesterday. The maximum for one of them is €30,000, I think. The Deputy is correct that these grants need to be reviewed and they are being reviewed. I will raise this matter with the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, who I understand has responsibility for this area. I will raise this issue with him because these grants make a difference. This is especially the case for people who need their houses adapted because they are getting older. It is very welcome that the grant in this regard exists and it is a great one. The only problem is that it runs out too quickly. The funding could be gone by the middle of the year because it could all be allocated already. There is a big demand for it. I take on board what the Deputy said in this regard.

On the late Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, he was a great advocate for older people as well. He was a great ambassador for this country and he will be very much missed.
