Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy is correct that section 2(6) of the 1974 Act provides for consultation between the Attorney General and the DPP from time to time. I have no function on these consultations and do not have the power to direct them to take place, order that particular matters be discussed or request details of the contents of the consultations, which have always been regarded as confidential. I am afraid that does not help much.
