Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 January 2014
153. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality to set out the way in which a person (details supplied) in County Kildare can change their name by deed poll; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4665/14]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts, including the management of the Central Office of the Four Courts, which deals with applications for change of name by deed poll, is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and have been informed that information regarding changing a person's name by deed poll is available on the Courts Service website www.courts.ie.
