Questions (327)

Thomas P. Broughan

Question:

327. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to the reply to Parliamentary Question No. 315 of 17 November 2015, where she stated that in this context the question of seeking data from the Garda Síochána authorities in relation to such court outcomes does not arise, her views that the question related to the number of cases listed before the courts, therefore cases listed, not the outcomes of the cases; the number listed by the courts and the number listed on the Garda Police Using Leading Systems Effectively, for the same districts in the same periods; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy will be aware that, under the provision of the Courts Service Act, 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service. Accordingly, the listing of cases for hearing and the recording of data on such cases is the responsibility of Courts Service and not An Garda Síochána.
