The Courts Service provides my Department with a quarterly report on the number of Court actions and orders relating to possession of certain real property i.e. buildings and land. The statistics include the number of new cases initiated in each quarter for possession of such property and on the number of court orders made for possession of real property. Circuit Court statistical reports provide a break down between residential and non-residential property, and on a county-by-county basis based on where the property is located. This level of detail is not, however, available in High Court statistics.

The Courts Service does not collect statistics as a matter of routine on legal proceedings to repossess other property.
