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, and this includes 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 it is not possible to provide the information requested in the time available and that the information, where available, will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is to hand.

I have requested reports from An Garda Síochána and the Courts Service in relation to the statistics sought by the Deputy and I will be in contact with the Deputy directly on receipt of these reports.
