89. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality ,further to Parliamentary Question No. 471 of 14 July 2015, if she will provide the figures from certain District Courts (details supplied) where the use of poor boxes in penalty points cases is still in operation. [32366/15]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service and I have no role in the matter. Section 4(3) of the 1998 Act provides that the Courts Service is independent in the performance of its functions, which includes the provision of information on the courts system. However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have made enquiries and the information is currently being compiled and verified. I shall arrange for the information requested to be forwarded to him shortly.
