As the Deputy is aware, costs in the District Court are generally determined by fixed scales which are directly related to the jurisdiction limit of the Court. Any proposals to revise the schedule upwards, following the enactment of the Courts Bill 2013, would be a matter for the District Court Rules Committee to consider in the first instance.
