The Law Society of Ireland has welcomed the announcement that the proposed closure of court venues in Swords, Dun Laoghaire, Balbriggan and Tallaght will not go ahead.

“We are delighted that sense has prevailed in this instance. We argued in our submission to the Courts Service on the proposals that closing these courthouses would actually increase costs to the Government as a whole,” said Ken Murphy, Director General of the Law Society of Ireland.
