Question:69 Mrs. Fennell asked the Minister for Justice the number of barring orders sought in the Dublin District Court in 1989 and 1990; the number granted; and the number breached by husbands.
Written Answers. - Barring Order Statistics.
The information sought by the Deputy, in so far as it is available, is as follows:
|
Legal year ended 31 July. |
Number of Barring Orders applied for |
Number granted |
|
1989 |
1,684 |
471 |
|
1990 |
1,674 |
607 |
The information in relation to the number of barring orders breached by husbands is not readily available. Such breaches would generally be reported in the first instance to the Garda Síochána. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that this information could be obtained only by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources.
