Courts ‘owe more to Dickens than Dúchas’
Geraldine Clarke made her comments in a speech at a Law Society meeting in the Courts Service’s newly-renovated showpiece courthouse in Sligo where she lamented that other courthouses were in a “woefully dilapidated condition”.
She said many district and circuit courts had no consultation rooms or waiting areas and that parties, their witnesses and legal representatives had to wait around in corridors “almost on top of each other” until their cases were reached.
