Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 March 2014
167. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of barring orders served through Kildare courts in 2013; and the number of multiple barring orders that have been served to individuals. [12563/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to inform the Deputy that, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions, which include the provision of information on the courts system. However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that a total of 23 barring orders and 5 interim barring orders were granted by District Court venues located in Co Kildare, i.e. Athy, Kilcock and Naas. The Courts Service has stated that information on the number of multiple barring orders that have been served on individuals is not readily available.
