The 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 Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration has no role in these matters.
To be of assistance, I have referred your question to the Courts Service for their direct reply. The Courts Service also has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie.
