Practitioners listed for Cork can be narrowed by location in the register. Instruction, scope and availability are agreed directly with the practitioner.
Criminal and coronial venues
The city’s criminal courts and coroner
Most indictable offences arising in Cork are tried before a judge and jury of the Cork Circuit Criminal Court at the Anglesea Street courthouse. Murder and rape are reserved to the Central Criminal Court; Cork and Dublin are the two cities with continuous Central Criminal Court sittings throughout each legal term, so those trials can be heard at Anglesea Street rather than in Dublin.
- Cork Circuit Criminal Court
- Hears cases sent forward from the District Court on a signed plea of guilty or an order for trial.
- Central Criminal Court
- The High Court exercising its criminal jurisdiction; normally a single judge sitting with a jury of twelve.
- Coroner for Cork City
- Holds inquests into deaths in the city under the Coroners Act 1962, as amended in 2019; the coroner’s office is at Courthouse Chambers on Washington Street.
These lists typically generate instructions for criminal defence reports and opinion on fitness to be tried under the Criminal Law (Insanity) Act 2006, indexed in the register as fitness to plead, with mental health evidence arising at both trial and inquest.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Where would a Cork assessment take place?
Each listing names its consulting locations and assessment types before you make contact: face-to-face appointments are held at the practitioner's own premises, and remote assessment removes the journey altogether where the case suits it. Nothing about the logistics is left to be discovered after instruction.
What if the specialty my case needs has no Cork listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Cork search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Cork experts by sub-specialty, expertise or gender?
Yes - the register filters by category, specialty and specific medico-legal expertise as well as location, and every listing displays the practitioner's gender and experience. A Cork search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
