I am advised by the Garda authorities that there is a total of 97 committal warrants (formerly known as penal warrants) outstanding in the Meath/Westmeath Division.
Garda authorities have advised that warrants may remain outstanding due to a number of factors, including difficulties in relation to the execution of warrants relating to persons actively seeking to evade detection and where limited identification information might be available to support enforcement. These difficulties are compounded where the warrant has been outstanding for some years.
I am assured however that An Garda Síochána execute warrants as expeditiously as possible, giving priority to the execution of warrants relating to serious crimes.
