Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
581. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of cases nationally that have been adjourned annually due to the issue regarding a drink driving certificate produced only in English and not in Irish; the number of cases which were struck out or dismissed due to this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36455/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, 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 the Courts Service does not record the data in such a way as to provide the information requested by the Deputy.
