Courts Service

James Browne (FF), Wexford

I concur with the Deputy on the importance of having appropriate facilities. I practised family law in the old courthouse in Wexford. It was conducted in a public sphere where people were also queuing to pay their motor tax. We now have a new court in Wexford town which has dramatically changed the situation for people in difficult circumstances. We must see that right across the entire country. That is part of the national development plan. The Department of Justice is very much focused on getting all of those facilities up to speed so that people can have consultations and dealings in a private manner, as should be the case, right across the country.
