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 at: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie
To be of assistance, I have contacted the courts service in relation to the specific information sought by the Deputy, which is set out in the tables below.
Table 1 - The Report provides the total number of incoming and resolved safety orders, protection orders and barring orders in 2023 and 2024 in District Number 7.
Report 2 - The Report provides the breakdown of incoming and resolved safety orders, protection orders and barring orders in 2023 and 2024 in District Number 7 by District Court Area.
