Kerry County Council is being urged to “change its mind” about the sale of a site to the Courts Service, amid mounting concern in legal circles about the future of family law hearings in the county.

Kerry Law Society has criticised the lack of progress one year after the council agreed to sell a portion of the Island of Geese site to the courts service for a new courts complex.
