1I understand the Deputy's question to refer to drugs offences which attract the mandatory minimum sentencing provisions as set out in Section 27 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 (as amended by the Criminal Justice Acts 1999, 2006 and 2007).

The data as requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. However, I have asked the Courts Service to supply the information sought directly to the Deputy.
