‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Motor Accidents Involving Death. DPP accountability
Summary
Flaherty asked whether the DPP’s charging decisions should be subject to public accountability, perhaps through a Dáil committee; the Ceann Comhairle said it was for another Minister.
In a previous reply the Minister indicated that a great deal is left to the discretion of the DPP but in view of the level of public disquiet about even the kind of charges being preferred, would the Minister consider that there is any case to be made for some form of public accountability, perhaps by way of a committee of the Dáil, for the Office of the DPP at this stage?
