Question 506: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, in respect of a fatal accident (details supplied), where charges against the other party for leaving the scene of the crime have been dropped without explanation to the deceased person's family, he is satisfied that this refusal to explain is consistent with the victims charter; the rationale for this refusal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy is aware I have no role in the investigation, prosecution or trial of alleged offences. The question of whether or not a particular person should be prosecuted and for what criminal offence is the responsibility of the DPP.
