Lawyers to complain over court relocation

A group of family lawyers are to write to the Courts Service to complain about the “grossly unsatisfactory” setting for family law cases in Cork City which were prompted by the redevelopment of another courthouse.

With the proposed redevelopment of the the court in Anglesea St, family law cases have been switched from the courthouse on Washington St as that building hosts criminal and other cases.

The move has meant that for the past month, family law cases are being heard across the street in Courthouse Chambers, in rooms that were previously used for lectures.
