I can inform the Deputy that the position is that S.I. No 5 of 1961 created the District Court Area of Dingle and in the Irish version An Daingean. Section 48 of the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011 changed the Irish version of Dingle to Daingean UÍ Chúis.

Section 26 of the Courts of Justice Act 1953 as amended provides for assigning a name to or changing the name of any district court district or district court. This is a matter for the Courts Service which is independent in the exercise of its functions. I can inform the Deputy however that the Courts Service has indicated that it proposes to implement the changes arising from the 2011 Act by amending the Irish version of the relevant statutory instrument in the near future.
