Grim carry on. DPP error (letter not sent..) leading to collapse of future cases.
Religious orders being tight fisted so and so’s and dragging their miserable arses over money..
Michael Shine’s legal team argued that the DPP delayed for two years in informing him of new cases pending against him. The DPP had intended to send a letter to Mr Shine’s solicitor, but it was never sent.
As a result of the judgment, at least 35 cases have already collapsed, and it looks unlikely any further cases reported to An Garda Síochána will progress.
In a statement to RTÉ Investigates, the DPP said it does not comment on individual cases
