McAleese to open new court today
The new Criminal Courts of Justice complex will be officially opened later today.
President Mary McAleese, the Justice Minister Dermot Ahern and the Chief Justice John L Murray will all officiate at a ceremony in Dublin this afternoon.
The €140m complex has begun hearing cases already.
Locals are expected to picket today's opening to highlight the stalled regeneration project in the nearby O'Devaney Gardens flats.
