Important notice regarding Criminal Appeals from the District Court to Circuit Court in Dublin
From 30 November 2011, when appeals are lodged at the public counter in certain District Court offices, a date for the Circuit Court hearing will be given out at the public counter.
Please note that, in such cases, the Courts Service will not write separately to the parties (or their solicitors) to inform them of the date.
Initially, this procedure will apply in the CCJ District Courts, but will be rolled out to the Summons Office (Chancery Street) and the outlying District Court offices (Cloverhill, Swords etc) in time.
Appeals received by post and from the prisons will continue in the normal way (that is, the Courts Service will write to parties to inform them of the Circuit Court date).
