2423. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to provide an update on the Wicklow Courthouse; to provide details of the funding that has been allocated for preparatory and planning work to inform the business cases for projects involving the renovation and development of courthouses in Wicklow; the timeline for this work; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [58740/26]

Management of the courts and operational matters, including court buildings, are the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in the exercise of its functions under the Courts Service Act 1998.

To be of assistance, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
