Written answers

Minister for Justice

I propose to take Questions Nos. 521 to 528, inclusive, together.

As the Deputy may be aware, management of the courts, operational matters and logistical functions are the responsibility of the Judiciary and the Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and given the separation of powers in the Constitution.

The Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: [e-mail].

To be of assistance I have referred the Deputy's queries to the Courts Service for direct reply.
