Mr. Niall ? Donnch?:

Again, the anatomy of the wildlife crime would probably dictate that. An authorised officer would make the decision. Sometimes, the crime is a bit more complex and he or she needs to engage further experts across the NPWS system. I guess the straightforward or simple answer is that an authorised officer would make that decision. The more complex one is that it depends on the nature of the crime, as it may involve a number of other specialists within the NPWS. Sometimes, we bring people in from outside where evidence needs to be gathered, evaluated, presented, and so forth.
