Amharc ar fhreagraManagement 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. Furthermore, the making of an attachment of earnings order is a matter for the presiding judge, and as Minister I have no role in this regard.
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 this question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
