Ford welcomes Cahill review

Justice Minister David Ford has welcomed the decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions to establish an independent review of the prosecutorial systems and processes in relation to three interlinked cases involving sex abuse and terrorist related charges following the police investigation into allegations made by Maíria Cahill.

He said: “I also note that the Police Ombudsman is investigating a complaint into the police handling of this case. I will be keen to see the outcome of these investigations before considering whether any further inquiry is appropriate.”
