156. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Justice the number of convictions have taken place under the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 since they were introduced, per year, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39295/24]

As the Deputy will appreciate, management of the courts, along with related operational matters and logistical functions, are the responsibility of the judiciary and Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and through the separation of powers in the Constitution.

It should be noted that the Department does not record data relating to convictions, as this is a function of the courts.

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 the Deputy's question to the Courts Service for direct reply.
