Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2026
1368. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration whether any review has been conducted into the causes of exceptionally high waiting times for domestic violence applications in certain District Court offices, including Naas, Sligo, Castlebar and Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraManagement of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in exercising its functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and the Constitution. Logistical and operational matters are matters for the Courts Service. Furthermore, the scheduling of court cases and the allocation of court business is a matter for the Presidents of the Courts and the presiding judges who are, under the Constitution, independent in the exercise of their judicial functions.
To be of assistance, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
