Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
There are different ways a prosecution might be initiated. They might be initiated with a local office - I will ask Mr. Blake to come in and help me – or they might be initiated through the investigations division. We established an oversight group in respect of the investigations division. I will give an example. The Deputy raised an issue with me a couple years ago about an instance where we did not prosecute somebody in an animal welfare case. She probably remembers it.
