Drogheda courthouse to open for business in June

Court business will commence in the new Drogheda courthouse next month, Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has said.

The new building has been constructed as part of the Public Private Partnership bundle of seven courthouses in various locations nationwide.

The new courthouse is a two courtroom venue which will facilitate both Circuit and District Court business.

Answering a written Dáil question, Ms Fitzgerald said: “The Courts Service has informed me that the construction and fit out of the new courthouse for Drogheda is at a very advanced stage.

“The Courts Service anticipates that court business will commence in the new Drogheda courthouse next month in June 2017.”
