Jack Chambers: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. I thank the committee for making time available to consider my request for a Supplementary Estimate for the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 5 - Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: The changes between 2020 and 2021 are marginal. As the Deputy can see the outturn was 701 in 2020 and 773 in 2021 and the additional superannuation and public service remuneration account for 85% of the appropriations-in-aid figures. It is therefore quite marginal. I am not sure if my officials have any information on the second question. I will revert to the committee on what is being...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 5 - Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: There is a process for seeking expressions of interest and, obviously, there is a board within the DPP which sets out the shortlisting process and the means of outsourcing. It is independent of the Department of the Taoiseach, and the DPP runs it as per its needs according to the shortlisting process and the application process that is set out.
