Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

A report on the number of drink driving offences listed by court area between January 2015 – March 2017 has been provided by the Courts Service and is set out in the table. It is important to note the following:

Note 1: Report displays offences that have been struck out not served;

Note 2: If an offence was listed in more than one court area it will appear twice on the report, or if an offence was adjourned to another year it will appear twice on the report. For example, an offence listed in 2015 and subsequently adjourned to 2016 will be counted once for each year.
