Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 July 2018
212. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of foreign soldiers who have been charged with and convicted of contravention of section 317 of the Defence Act 1954 with regard to the wearing by foreign soldiers of a military uniform of a foreign State; and if they have been imprisoned for a term of six months as permitted in the Act.

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 court statistics are not compiled in such a way as to provide the detail sought by the Deputy.
