‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bogus Vodka. Prosecution of revenue offences
Summary
McDowell questioned whether prosecutions for revenue offences should be handled by a special unit in the DPP’s office, citing delays; the Minister called it a separate question.
Would the Minister agree that there is some case to be made for changing the manner of prosecution of revenue offences by taking this matter from the Revenue Commissioners and giving it to a special department in the DPP's office? The slowness of investigation and prosecution of revenue offences leaves something to be desired. Does the Minister agree that it should be examined?
