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 advised that convictions are not recorded by Garda sub district but by Court Office. The Courts Service has further advised that it is not possible to provide the information regarding the number of convictions in relation to hit and run incidents in each of the years 1985 to 2017 in the time available and that the information, where available, will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is to hand.
