The rules relating to the service of summons depend on various factors such as the court involved (e.g., District Court etc) and the type of summons. The functions of the Courts Service, established under the Courts Service Act 1998, are to manage the courts and to provide information on the courts system to the public. Detailed information in relation to the service of all types of summons may be found on the websites of the Courts Service (www.courts.ie) and the Citizens Information Board (www.citizensinformation.ie).
