Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
604. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason the order of the District Court ordinary decree of 26 October 2016 (details supplied) has not been executed or acted upon; and in view of this delay if he will ensure that this matter is brought to finality. [37615/17]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, Sheriffs (or County Registrars acting as Sheriffs) are officers of the court and are independent in the exercise of their functions and duties under statute and rules of court. The Sheriff (or County Registrar acting as Sheriff) is responsible to the Court for the Enforcement of the Court Orders. The law and procedures governing the execution of Court Orders is contained in the Enforcement of Court Orders Acts, 1926 to 1940 and the Rules of Court made thereunder, and I wish to inform the Deputy that I have no operational function in this matter.
