Carrickmacross Courthouse is set to reopen this morning for court sittings after a five year hiatus.
The local courthouse has not been used as a venue since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
According to local councillor and Cathaoirleach of the Carrickmacross/Castleblayney Municipal District, PJ O'Hanlon the building has been maintained in good repair over the past five years.
Justice Minister, Jim O'Callaghan confirmed in May that the local courthouse would re-open its doors.
There is no backlog of court business in Carrickmacross.
The regular District & Circuit Court sittings for Carrickmacross have taken place at Monaghan since March 2020.
Cllr PJ O'Hanlon told Northern Sound in May that he highlighted the issue of the closure with the Justice Minister and he was glad to be informed that it was going to be opened in July.
