Mr. Barry Donoghue:
We do not have statistics for the District Court. To explain briefly, if we decide to prosecute somebody in the District Court, the case is usually dealt with by the Garda. It prosecutes the case and it does not give us a return necessarily in all those cases. We do not have the statistics. Our statistics are purely on indictable cases so cases in the Circuit Court, Central Criminal Court and Special Criminal Court.
