The Ward of Courts system is administered through the Courts. Management of the courts, 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. The Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie

Information of this nature is held by the Courts Service. Therefore, I have referred your question to the Courts Service for their direct reply.
