497. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of drivers convicted of an offence under section 38(5) of the Road Traffic Act 1961, as amended by the Road Traffic Act 2006, who received a penalty under the subsection, that is, for driving while disqualified; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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, and this includes 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 advised that it is not possible to provide the information requested in the time available and that the information, where available, will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is to hand.
