The future location of Tralee Courthouse has been under consideration for some time, with a decision yet to be made between building a new courthouse or refurbishing and extending the existing building on Ashe Street.

The Department of Justice says it’ll cost in excess of €1 million to repair defects in the 19th century building.

Radio Kerry’s Eamonn Hickson made a freedom of information request and received information from the department in relation to the courthouse.
