351. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of people referred to the probation service for a community service report who were found by that report to be unsuitable for community service and were subsequently not sentenced to an immediate term of imprisonment, in 2022, 2023 and 2024, in tabular form.

View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, management of the courts, along with related operational matters and logistical functions, are the responsibility of the judiciary and the Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and through the separation of powers in the Constitution.
It should be noted that the Department does not record data relating to convictions, as this is a function of the courts. However, to be of assistance, I have made enquiries with the Courts Service, who have informed me that the requested information is not recorded by the courts.
