Information for the Public

We have six information booklets, all written in plain language approved by the National Adult Literacy Agency, which are available for victims of crime and the public generally. The booklets are available in English, Irish and ten foreign languages. Please choose your preferred language below.

We also have three information sheets relating to various types of appeals – conviction, sentence and undue leniency.
