Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 March 2025
26. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the number of drivers disqualified in court each year from 2020 to 2024 who failed to comply with the requirement to surrender their licence to the Road Safety Authority and were summoned to court for failing to comply; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14629/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, management of the courts, along with related 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 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.
The Courts Service has a dedicated email address for the provision of information to members of the Houses of the Oireachtas: oireachtasenquiries@courts.ie
To be of assistance I have referred the Deputy's question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
