Most court cases to go ahead as normal despite garda strike

The courts service has said people should assume their court date stands for tomorrow unless a local notice says otherwise.

All cases in the Four Courts and the Criminal Courts of Justice will go ahead as normal.

The courts service has said various local arrangements are being made around the country, but if the strike goes ahead tomorrow, each judge will decide how to deal with their list.

To date, three courts have been deferred for tomorrow.

Galway Circuit Criminal matters due for Friday are being heard in advance today. The Waterford Juvenile District Court list is deferred to a date in December, while the Kilkenny Circuit Appeals list is deferred to a future date.
