Vol. 384 No. 2

Written Answers. - Supreme Court Case.

28.

asked the Minister for Justice whether, in view of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Quilligan case, he has any plans to introduce legislation to allow the Director of Public Prosecutions to appeal an acquittal and to secure a retrial where such appeal is successful.

As I have informed the House on a number of occasions, I could not undertake to indicate in response to a parliamentary question what specific legislative proposals, if any, I might have in particular areas. Planned legislative changes, are announced in the ordinary way after Government approval.
