The high regard for caretaker at Donegal Courthouse Peter Kane was evident in the praise and thanks that were expressed on his retirement. Judge Sandra Murphy said the way Mr Kane kept the building was a credit to him. But it was for the warmth of his personality and his kind nature that he would be fondly remembered by everyone associated with the court. Judge Murphy said: “When you arrive in Donegal Courthouse you are greeted with a smile, kind words and a cup of tea. “A special secret is, there were always beautiful treats in the judge’s room. All the judges looked forward to coming to Donegal court for this reason.” The judge expressed thanks on behalf of herself and former sitting judges, Judge McMenamin, Judge O’Donnell, Judge Zaidan and Judge Kilrane. She said that Judge Kilrane had asked her to convey to Mr Kane what a kind person he was and what a lovely welcome he always gave. Judge Murphy said: “On behalf of all the former judges, thank you for your sterling service. “The court's loss is your family’s gain. They will be delighted to have you at home with them. “You are one of those special people who you rarely meet in life who make the world a better place.” Mr Kane took up the role of caretaker in 1995, initially as an employee of Donegal County Council and later as a Courts Service employee.
