General statistics relating to decisions taken by the courts are available in the annual reports of both the Courts Service and the Garda Síochána. Notifications of driving disqualifications and endorsements of licences ordered by the courts are sent by the Courts Service to the relevant licensing authority, which records the disqualification and-or endorsement on the driver record. A copy of such notifications is also sent by the Courts Service to my Department for information.
