Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

To the best of my knowledge, the enabling legislation allowing for that, the Civil Service Regulation (Amendment) Bill passed Second Stage in the Dáil on 13 October and is awaiting Committee Stage. Responsibility will be transferred under the new arrangement when negotiations are complete. The benefit of this is that the Director of Public Prosecutions will have responsibility in the Dublin Metropolitan area and will have equal responsibility for State solicitors throughout the country. The negotiation process with the local State solicitors is currently under way seeking agreement on the transfer to the DPP.
