Judges Keenan Johnson and Andrew Cody have been voicing their concerns about the builing.
The chair of Laois County Council believes the Court Service should do their part to make Portlaoise Court House fit for purpose.
It follows Circuit and District Judges Keenan Johnson and Andrew Cody outlining their concerns to the Court Service for staff about the condition of Portlaoise Courthouse.
Correspondence was sent last June after a rat was seen crawling into a room during court proceedings.
The OPW is promising a new courthouse in the town.
Land near the town centre of Portlaoise has been purchased but no there's timeline for the project as of yet.
Cathaoirleach of Laois County Council Padraig Fleming says issues should still be addressed within the old building:
