Ceist:

503. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of prosecutions commenced for liquor licence offences by District Court in each of the years 2010 to 2017; and the number of these cases that led to convictions, in tabular form. [54510/17]

Charles Flanagan

Minister for Justice and Equality

As 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 it is not possible to provide the information sought in the specific format requested by the Deputy. The Courts Service has compiled a report in the attached table providing details of all prosecutions for liquor licensing offences dealt with by each District Court for each year from 2010 to 2016 and for the period from 1 January to 30 November 2017. The data for December 2017 is not yet available.

The table provides the number of offences in respect of which a conviction was recorded and the number of offences which did not result in a conviction.
