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 provided the information in the table below regarding the dates for which each special exemption order was granted further to parliamentary question number 144 of 14 February 2018.

I have been advised by the Courts Service that, on their further examination, it has emerged that some of the information provided to my Department and subsequently included in my response to Parliamentary Question 7681/18 (Question No. 144) of 14 February 2018 is incorrect and I wish to make a correction for the Dáil record. The correct information is that the number of special exemption orders granted for the Abbey Inn, Bridge Street, Tralee, Co. Kerry on 20 April 2016 is 6.
