‘Crime tracking’ facility slated for victims

Garda bosses are to examine the feasibility of installing an online ‘track-my-crime’ facility for victims.

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald said the system could be among an “array of tools” gardaí could use to meet upcoming legal requirements to keep victims of crime informed.

The European Union Directive on Victims’ Rights must be enacted into Irish law next year and imposes a range of additional measures on the State.
