Judge demands action on ‘noise and filth’ at Tralee court

A judge has hit out at the “noise and filth” of Tralee courthouse on district court days and said he finds it the most awkward court in Kerry and Cork.

The 19th-century structure on Ashe St in the heart of Tralee has an imposing facade, but it is one of the few courthouses in the country not to have had an internal overhaul in the past decade.

There is no wheelchair access, and office staff have had to move to rented offices because of health and safety and other issues.
