Written answers

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 enquiries made and the Courts Service has provided the following information and Report.

This report relates to the District Court Area of Limerick which includes the venues in Limerick city and Kilmallock. As always, this report does not include any prosecutions which the gardaí may have initiated using free text rather than the prescribed code Report on number of persons convicted of drink driving offences for 2014 – 2018 in Limerick Court Area
