Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 December 2025
255. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the budget that has been allocated by his Department to the Planning and Environmental Court for 2025; the projected budget for 2026; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [70450/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Planning and Environment Court was established by Practice Direction as a special division of the High Court and is funded and resourced through the Courts Service. The Courts Service operates under its own vote. Management of the courts, operational matters and logistical functions are the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in exercising its functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and given the separation of powers in the Constitution.
As Minister, I have no role in relation to the logistical or operational matters of the courts. To be of assistance, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
