I am not in a position to provide legal advice in response to Parliamentary Questions. However, I can say, generally, that the powers of Sheriffs and County Registrars are as prescribed in various Courts Acts.

The charges and fees levied by a Sheriff are set out in the Sheriff's Fees and Expenses Order 2005 (S.I. No. 644 of 2005).
