In terms of what happens, Mr. Kelly discussed section 19 notifications with Deputy Doherty. Under section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act 2011, it is a criminal offence for a person to withhold information from the Garda if he or she has evidence of an offence being committed. If I am a victim of a crime and make a complaint to the Garda, I am then an individual complainant. Is there a difference in that regard? I presume that if I make a complaint, the Garda has to investigate it.
