Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2023
349. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Justice if she is aware whether there have been any prosecutions brought between 2019 to date in 2023 of an entry way to a premises being blocked by participants involved in a public pro-life assembly; if so, to provide details on such events; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerManagement of the courts are the responsibility of the judiciary and Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and the separation of powers in the Constitution. The Minister has no role in the provision of information from the Courts Service, including information about the numbers of persons prosecuted for any specific offences.
The Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie. To be of assistance to the Deputy, I have referred this question directly to the Courts Service for answer.
