The Kerry branch of the Green Party is calling for Tralee Courthouse to be retained and upgraded at its current location.
The Courts Service has written to Kerry County Council expressing a wish to build a new courthouse on the Island of Geese site.
Chairperson of the Kerry Greens, Anluan Dunne says to move the courthouse from its central location on Ashe Street would be a retrograde step.
The Kerry Greens have written to Chief Executive of Kerry County Council, Moira Murrell and Tralee Municipal District Manager Michael Scannell saying they want a more vibrant town that cherishes historic buildings.
They urged the council to resist the proposal from the Courts Service adding that disposing of heritage because it is difficult is both wasteful and short sighted.
