Questions (555)

Peadar Tóibín

Question:

555. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of convictions recorded for driving without insurance, driving without a driving licence and driving an untaxed vehicle in each of the last five years; the number of persons in each category who were male and female; the age profile of such persons in five-year age cohorts (details supplied); the county in which each offence was detected, in tabular form. [53285/26]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

The management 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 the Constitution.  As Minister, I have no role in these matters.

It should be noted that the Department does not record data relating to convictions, as this is a function of the courts.

To be of assistance I have referred this question to the Courts Service for their direct reply to the Deputy.

The Deputy may also wish to note that the Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: [e-mail]
