Courthouse construction to create 170 jobs

The planned construction of a criminal courthouse at Anglesea St, Cork, will create up to 170 building jobs.

During a historic first sitting of the Supreme Court outside Dublin yesterday, the chief justice, Mrs Justice Susan Denham said: “Cork will be the recipient of a major part of a forthcoming investment in a bundle of seven courthouse developments.

“Anglesea Street courthouse is to be a centre of criminal justice for the city. An investment of many millions will create 170 construction jobs in Cork, and provide a state-of-the-art Court venue, with six courtrooms.”
