Ms Maria Browne:
Counsel is briefed in all cases. The investigation that comes in from the Department would be forwarded to counsel after counsel is nominated by the Attorney General. Then a decision is made as to whether the prosecution should proceed or not. In the cases outside of Dublin, they would be sent to the State solicitor in the relevant district and he or she would conduct the case then.
