Death of District Court judge Elizabeth MacGrath

The death has occurred of Judge Elizabeth MacGrath, a serving judge of the District Court.

The Courts Service says that the courthouse in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, where she served, will close on Monday, 8 July as a mark of respect.

The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee paid tribute to the judge, saying that she had given dedicated service to the State since first being appointed to the bench in 2007.

“I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to her husband, family and friends on their loss,” the minister said.

Before being appointed to the bench, Judge MacGrath had worked for 24 years as a solicitor.

As a District Court judge, she had been assigned to District Number 8, which covers her home county of Tipperary, since 2012. She heard mostly criminal matters, but also presided over family-law cases.
