If a member of your family or household is the victim in a fatal case you can ask us and we will tell you the reason whenever possible if we decide not to prosecute. We will do this in cases where the death took place on or after 22 October 2008. If you are a witness we will treat you with respect and take account of your personal situation rights and dignity work with the Gardaí to make sure that you are kept up to date on your case especially if it is about a violent or sexual offence and arrange for you to talk to the prosecution solicitor and barrister before the court case begins if you wish. They will explain what will happen in court but they cannot talk to you about the evidence you will give. If the accused has been sentenced we can ask the Court of Criminal Appeal to review the sentence if we think it is unduly lenient - in other words so light that it is wrong in law. We can ask for a review of sentences from the Central Criminal Court Circuit Criminal Court and Special Criminal Court. We cannot appeal a sentence from the District Court. 30 VICTIMS CHARTER and guide to the criminal justice system WHAT YOU CAN DO IF WE DO NOT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS If you have questions or complaints about our service you may contact the Director of Public Prosecutions 14 - 16 Merrion Street Dublin 2.
