Minister for Justice and Equality

As 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 inquiries made and the Courts Service has provided information sought by the Deputy for 2010 to 2016 but has advised that the data are not yet available for 2017 or to date in 2018.

A report on the number of liquor licence special exemption orders granted by each District Court in 2010 to 2016 is set out in the following table. Please note that any venue with a 0 and blank under a year heading has been closed or transferred to a different court office.
