Courts Service presses ahead with Tralee closure despite strong opposition

THE Courts Service yesterday confirmed it was pressing ahead with plans to build a new courthouse on the outskirts of Tralee, despite local opposition.

The Kerry Law Society and Tralee town centre traders are protesting against the closure of the old Ashe Street courthouse, which was built around 1834.

Solicitors are also angry about not being consulted regarding the relocation of court facilities.
