Road Traffic Offences.
3:00 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
In a process of discovery in a criminal prosecution decisions are primarily for the prosecutor because we have an adversarial legal system. The prosecutor decides if, as part of bringing the case, he will make available certain information. It is not the function of the Minister to send directives to the gardaí as to what they should do in particular cases.
