The Special Criminal Court is established pursuant to Part V of the Offences Against the State Act 1939. The Court deals with cases involving the prosecution of terrorist offences, and organised crime.

Unfortunately, the detailed information sought by the Deputy is not maintained by my Department. However, the Courts Service Annual Report, which is publically available, provides statistics, including statistics relating to proceedings before the Special Criminal Court.
