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 inquiries made and the Courts Service has advised that it is not possible to provide the information regarding the number of persons convicted of criminal offices in County Waterford courts that were granted bail in each of the past five years in the time available. The information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is to hand.

The Courts Service has also advised that courts statistics are not compiled in such a way as to provide the information sought by the Deputy regarding the number of persons that were found to have re-offended while out on bail and it is therefore not possible to provide the detail sought.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
