There has been significant investment in the Courts Service in the past couple of years. One of the problems is that when a member of An Garda Síochána goes to issue a summons, the person concerned is no longer at the address indicated. This happens quite often and it is a major waste of Garda time and resources. Is there an alternative? I think thousands of summonses have been issued to persons who no longer live at the addresses supplied.
