- bawolff 3y agoIsn't it the opposite? Usually private prosecution prevents gov filing charges due to double jeopardy concerns.
- andylynch 3y agoNot Irish or a lawyer but I would expect their DPP to have very similar powers to their English friends allowing takeover of private prosecutions. With the caveat that Irish private prosecutions are a much less well-trodden path. Edit- not that it matters here, since it’s a regular criminal complaint to the garda and not a private prosecutions at all.
