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

As the Deputy will appreciate, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, it is a function of the Courts Service to provide appropriate information on the courts to the public. I have therefore arranged to have the query referred to the Courts Service for direct reply to the Deputy.
