Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Justice the number of times in each of the past three years that the DPP has appealed decisions to grant bail, and the number of times in each of the past three years that the DPP has appealed conditions of bail, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is an independent law officer under the Prosecution of Offences Act 1974 (as amended) and I have no role in relation to the work of the Office of the DPP. As such I am not in possession of information regarding the number of files received by the DPP, decisions in relation to prosecutions, or appeals brought by that office. I would advise the Deputy to direct any questions in relation to the work of the Office of the DPP directly to that office.
