A Judge has advised people who use the courthouse in Letterkenny to go and view the plans for the new building.
Judge John O’Hagan
The courthouse, which houses both the district and circuit courts, is located on Justice Walsh Road.
However there are now plans to build a new purpose-built facility on the site of the old swimming pool off High Court.
Circuit court Judge John O’Hagan advised anyone who uses the courthouse including barristers, solicitors, the Gardai, the press and members of the HSE to view the new plans.
The plans are available for inspection at the courthouse.
Judge O’Hagan said the tie is fast approaching when the planning process will come to a close.
Barrister Peter Nolan said one of the problems was that there was not a consultation process with court users before the current building was designed and constructed.
Meanwhile speaking during yesterday’s circuit court sitting, Judge O’Hagan told a jury to inform their friends that the public should come along and see the workings of the court.
