Buncrana courthouse to reopen next month

Court hearings will return to Inishowen next month.

Sittings of Buncrana District Court and Carndonagh District Court will be heard at Buncrana Courthouse from June.

Buncrana and Carndonagh hearings have been held at Letterkenny courthouse since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

At Tuesday’s sitting of Carndonagh District Court, Garda Sergeant Sean McDaid confirmed to Judge Brendan O’Reilly that Buncrana courthouse was set to open its doors again.

Sittings of Falcarragh District Court also take place in Letterkenny.

The courthouse in Carndonagh was closed in March 2019 and it is estimated that it could take €150,000 to properly refurbish.”
