Return of Carn Court Day
27.10.10
THE 'Court Day' returns
to Carndonagh after a two-year absence on Tuesday,
November 16.
The old courthouse closed in May 2008 for what was
expected to be a major facelift. However, the
extensive revamp was shelved due to the downturn and
a number of smaller improvements have been carried
out in recent weeks.
The minor works include the provision of a public
accessible toilet and associated works at ground
level.
They also include the replacement of five front
windows, carpeting of the landing and stairs and the
decoration of the first floor consultation room. |
Repairs to the front
steps, some plastering and minor painting work and
roof repairs were also carried out.
Senator Cecilia Keaveney said: "The fact that there
is a date set puts a level of certainty on the
reopening of the courthouse that locals will
appreciate. As had been feared for Carn, often when
old buildings close they do not reopen. |

"I will continue to
press for outstanding issues to be addressed as
quickly as funding is available but I commend those
working within the Courts Services for getting this
facility back in operation." |
