1368. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Justice if she will ensure that the Courts Service as the European Judicial Network contact point in Ireland and whose operation is also within her remit provides her with information that is in compliance with European Union law as set out in Council Decision 2001/470/EC, for posting on the eJustice portal (details supplied).

Amharc ar fhreagraManagement of the courts, operational matters and logistical functions are the responsibility of the judiciary and Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and given the separation of powers in the Constitution.
The material in question concerns Rules of Court, which are a form of secondary legislation.
As Minister for Justice I cannot interpret the law, nor can I provide legal advice. It is not possible for me to comment on material on a website which was provided by the independent Courts Service or to comment in its accuracy or on a third party’s interpretation of its accuracy.
