I propose to take Questions Nos. 785 and 786 together.

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

As the recordkeeping of exemption orders secured by licensed premises is an operational matter for the Courts Service, I have referred your question to the Courts Service for their direct reply.
