Closure of Kinsale courthouse inadvisable, say councillors
Standing orders were suspended at a meeting in Cork County Hall yesterday to discuss the announcement by the Courts Service that it is to close Kinsale District Court at the end of the year and transfer the sittings to Bandon, about 18km away, for cost-saving reasons.
The proposed closure has prompted the West Cork Bar Association — which represents more that 150 solicitors in the region — to consider taking legal action.
