As the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in exercising its functions, which include the provision of information on the courts system.

However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had inquiries made and the Courts Service has provided information sought by the Deputy for 2010 to 2016 but has advised that the data are not yet available for 2017 or to date in 2018.

A report on the number of liquor licence special exemption orders granted by each District Court in 2010 to 2016 is set out in the following table. Please note that any venue with a 0 and blank under a year heading has been closed or transferred to a different court office.

As the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in exercising its functions, which include the provision of information on the courts system.

However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that it is not possible to provide the information sought in the specific format requested by the Deputy. The Courts Service has compiled a report in the attached table providing details of all prosecutions for liquor licensing offences dealt with by each District Court for each year from 2010 to 2016 and for the period from 1 January to 30 November 2017. The data for December 2017 is not yet available.

The table provides the number of offences in respect of which a conviction was recorded and the number of offences which did not result in a conviction.
