My amendment proposes that the information provided to the victim would "contain relevant information to enable a victim to decide whether to request a review of a decision". Paragraph (c), which the amendment seeks to amend, relates to an investigation, which is the Garda part of the process. The first part is an investigation by the Garda, after which one has a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions as to whether to institute criminal proceedings. The relevant information needs to be provided to a victim to assist him or her in deciding whether he or she wants a review. I am interested in hearing what the Minister has to say.
