Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
1087. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Justice for a detailed breakdown of drink driving convictions, by county over the most recent year for which data is available, including the number of convictions, repeat offences; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1285/24]
View answerOutcomes of Court proceedings, including the recording of convictions and collation of related data, are under the remit of the Courts Service. Management of the courts, operational matters and logistical functions are the responsibility of the judiciary and 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: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie. The Minister has no role in these matters. As the information requested by the Deputy is held by the Courts service, I have referred this question to the Courts service for direct answer.
