High Court judge Paul McDermott criticised TD Martin Kenny over his comments about judges travelling to hear cases, at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin on 24 October 2022.

McDermott said judges were willing to travel to any available venue, and described suggestions that they were reluctant to do so as incorrect and ill-informed. He said the Limerick courthouse was unavailable for administrative reasons unrelated to the Central Criminal Court, but that judges would use it if it became available.
