Has the Department of Justice and Equality ever discussed the issue with An Garda Síochána? It is clear that a Garda inspector handles all of these cases. He or she knows the reason and ticks the box. The raw material is being gathered in the court by the prosecuting side as to why a case has been struck out. The information is in the files. It would be useful to record it, even on a sample basis, in the District Courts.
