Circuit Criminal Trials are to return to Tralee courthouse in the summer.
The COVID-19 pandemic saw some Kerry court cases being heard in Limerick and Cork.
In March 2020, all contested criminal cases were taken out of Kerry as a result of rising Covid-19 numbers.
Government regulations meant it wasn’t possible for juries to be accommodated at sittings in Tralee as the courts office could not guarantee social distancing between jurors.
As a result, circuit court sittings were transferred to Limerick and Cork.
The courts service has been tackling a surge in cases amongst its staff; just two weeks ago, all civil cases for Tralee were cancelled because of an increase in Covid-19 in judicial numbers.
Circuit criminal trials will return to Tralee courthouse on June 20th for five weeks.
