Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

Proposals for a restructuring of court fees was received from the Courts Service. My Department and the Department of Finance are considered them. One of the objectives of the proposed restructuring is to have a more streamlined and consistent system of court fees across the court jurisdictions.
