From 1 October 2025, all court sittings scheduled for Donegal Courthouse will take place in Ballyshannon Courthouse.

In a statement published on Friday, the Courts Service said it had “recently been advised by the Office of Public Works (OPW) that due to health and safety concerns with Donegal Courthouse, it is no longer safe for public use”.

“The OPW have confirmed that they have organised for a full building condition survey to be carried out,” the statement continued.

“Following receipt of the full building condition survey report, the Courts Service will consider next steps.

“We apologise for the disruption this will cause for court users.”
