Four Courts Doors: Waiting for Term’s End

A message went out this week to members of the Law Library (barristers to the likes of you and I) for them to collect their security cards, as the Courts Service was intending to implement their grand plan of access restriction for the Four Courts buildings.

Then the next day another message was passed on from the Courts Service not to come and get the cards after all.

I’m guessing somebody realised that it would be much easier, and there would be far less resistance, if the security plan were to be given a soft introduction during the summer months, when courts are generally not sitting. The Court Term ends on Tuesday.

It will be back again in October. Then we’ll see what kind of problems the system will throw up.
