The Director of Public Prosecutions published a report this week which is worthy of consideration for a debate in the House. The report suggests that one third of Garda cases fail to reach the courts due to a lack of evidence and that only two out of every five cases reach the courts. I do not know the reason for this outcome but, in business, if ten products were produced but only three succeeded in getting to the market, it would be considered very inefficient. The report of the DPP is worthy of consideration for debate.
