Mallow courthouse to close for six months

Local TDs concerned as sittings move to Fermoy and Cork City to facilitate  €1.2m refurbishment project

Mallow courthouse where works are set to take place from spring, and will include rectifying water ingress issues throughout the building. Defective elements include pitched and flat roofs, windows, and parts of the exterior walls.

Mallow courthouse will be closed for six months early next year, with sittings being moved to Fermoy and Cork City to facilitate a €1.2m refurbishment project.

The move has prompted complaints from TDs in the area, who claim the sittings should be facilitated in other venues in Mallow, rather than relocated such distances.
