On Thursday 30 March 2023,  Chief Justice Donal O’Donnell was in attendance for the launch of new easy-to-understand information on courts.ie.

To better understand the different elements of Family Law, people can now access Family Law information developed using plain language and displayed in an accessible and user-friendly way. This information in easy-to-understand language, gives people the wording to discuss legal processes, applications and resolution options with legal practitioners and professionals, as well as our staff in the Courts Service.

To prepare users before attending the Court, the new 360 Virtual Tours were also launched, and they allow people to experience the look and feel of the Courts in advance. This can reduce anxiety for many Court visitors. The 360 Virtual Tours demonstrate what to expect both outside and inside the building. So, by the time a person arrives in Court they are better prepared to engage in the process. We developed the 360 Virtual Tours as a direct response to user feedback and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform’s Public Service Innovation Fund 2022 funded their development.
