847. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide an update on the execution of bench warrants issued to An Garda Síochána by the District Court, Dublin, sitting at Dolphin House (Family Courts 20, 40, 41, 47 and 49), including the number issued in 2022 and the number executed, in tabular form.

As the Deputy will be aware, management of the courts, including operational matters and logistical functions, are the responsibility of the judiciary and Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998, and given the separation of powers in the Constitution.  As Minister, I have no role in these matters, it is the function of the Courts Service to provide information on any orders issued by the Courts. 

The Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie.

To be of assistance, I have also referred the Deputy's query directly to the Courts Service.
