Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I will arrange for the Courts Service to give the information to Deputy Flanagan on the statistics for the different forms of service. The Deputy is correct that we are removing any statutory basis for the suggestion that there should be a localised system of service in the different circuit counties or district areas. The District Court has made proposals to me which are in the course of implementation and which will rationalise the District Court areas in terms of county boundaries. This work is under way in the District Court.
