I propose to take Questions Nos. 259 and 260 together.

While the Courts Service operates as an independent corporate organisation, primary responsibility for reporting on matters before the Courts, including home repossession cases, lies with the Department of Justice and Equality.  We have asked that Department to source the data on repossession cases from the Courts Service and to forward it directly to you.
