Question 209: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a prosecution may be taken against an individual who received money intended for a club, society or corporate body but who retained it for personal use in the absence of a complaint from the offended body; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12619/08]

As Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform I have no function in relation to the prosecution of offences. They are matters for the Director of Public Prosecutions. The Deputy will appreciate that the Director of Public Prosecutions is statutorily independent in this function, therefore it would not be appropriate for me to comment further.
