Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 September 2026
564. Deputy Grace Boland asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of applications for grants of representation currently awaiting processing, broken down by the Dublin probate office and each district probate registry; the number that have been awaiting processing for more than four, eight, twelve and sixteen weeks; and the measures being taken to reduce waiting times. [68396/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Probate Office is an office of the High Court. Management of the courts, operational matters and logistical functions are the responsibility of the judiciary and Courts Service, which are independent in the exercise of their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and given the separation of powers in the Constitution. Probate functions are also carried out by County Registrars at District Probate Registries in 14 provincial court offices.
To be of assistance, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
