The issuing of fines to licensed premises is a matter for the Courts. Under the Courts Service Act 1998 the Courts Service is independent in the performance of its functions which include, inter alia, the provision of statistical and other court related information. The Deputy will thus appreciate that it is a matter for the Courts Service to furnish figures in relation to court imposed fines.

The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office, as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have requested the CSO to provide the statistics sought by the Deputy directly to him.
