Written answers
As the Deputy will be aware, all serious crime (which would include child sexual abuse) is prosecuted by the Director of Prosecutions, who is fully independent in her functions under Section 2(5) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1974 (as amended).
As Minister for Justice I have no role in the operations, functions, governance or oversight of the Office of the DPP, and I am unable to provide any information relating to the Director's work as a result.
