Part 2: The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) Information for prosecutors Section 25: Information for prosecutors
This section applies where a review has been carried out by the ICRIR and gives the Commissioner for Investigations a power to refer a case to prosecutors and governs how that discretion should be exercised.
	Subsection (2) applies where the Commissioner for Investigations considers there is evidence that relevant conduct constitutes an offence under the law of Northern Ireland by an individual whose identity is known to the Commissioner. "Relevant conduct" has the meaning given by subsection (7), and is the conduct which caused the death, or the other harmful conduct, to which the review relates, as well as any other conduct that relates to, or is otherwise connected to it. Where subsection (2) applies the Commissioner for Investigations may refer the conduct to the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland and, if conduct is referred, must notify the prosecutor of the offence(s) concerned.
	Subsection (3) makes similar provision but in relation to conduct constituting an offence under the law of England and Wales, where a referral lies to the Director of Public sections (for England and Wales). Subsection (4) makes similar provision for offences under Scots law (where a referral is to be made to the Lord Advocate), but is subject to the power of direction under subsection (5).
	Under subsection (5), the Lord Advocate has the power to direct that a referral (and notification) be made under subsection (4), and the Commissioner for Investigation must comply with such a direction unless the person concerned has been granted immunity from prosecution under section 19 for the offence concerned.
	Subsection (6) requires that when referring a case to a prosecutor, the Commissioner for Investigations must; provide such information and material relating to the relevant conduct as the Commissioner considers appropriate and, if requested to do so by the prosecutor, must supply such further information or material as it is practicable to obtain.
