Wicklow Councillor Tells Court Services To Act Now And Refurbish Wicklow Court House

A Wicklow councillor has called on the Courts Service to come clean on its future plans for Wicklow court house. 

In 2010 the Court house was closed for what was described as a temporary period to facilitate refurbishment works to allow the court to re-open and function again. However Fine Gael Councillor Irene Winters says eleven years on and it’s been a series of  broken promises, with no confirmed date for when the works will actually get underway.

Councillor Winters says leaving the building unoccupied and in poor repair is an insult to all the businesses and residents of the town and an insult to everyone waiting for justice in an overcrowded legal diary.
