I assume the Deputy is referring to funding for the Courts Service, which in the first instance, is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality. The Chief Justice has informed me that she is giving consideration to potential funding models for the service. Any proposals that arise will be subject to the normal estimates process between my Department and the Department of Justice.
