Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Wards of Court: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Quigley:

First, there is a resourcing issue. We work within the constraints of the public sector and both the accountants' office and the wards of court office have been subject to significant reductions in staffing.

The other problem we had was the limitations of our IT systems. There was never any lack of willingness to do this, rather, there were constraints. What we have done, however, is provide comprehensive information where it has been requested. I am not defending it as acceptable not to provide it in all cases, it was just that we were operating within limit-----
