Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2017
344. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the conviction rate for contested cases in the Special Criminal Court; and if he will provide comparative figures on the conviction rate for contested cases in the Circuit Criminal Court and the Central Criminal Court. [39755/17]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in exercising its functions, which include the provision of information on the courts system.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that the information on such matters, to the extent available, is being compiled. I will respond to the Deputy as soon as that information has been compiled.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
