Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998 management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service and I have no role in the matter. Section 4(3) of the 1998 Act provides that the Courts Service is independent in the performance of its functions, which includes the provision of information on the courts system. However, in order to be of assistance, I have made enquiries and the Courts Service has advised that the information is currently being compiled and I will write to the Deputy directly as soon as it is to hand.
