Mr. McNamara
asked the Attorney-General how many cases in 1986 involving persons injured by plastic bullets in Northern Ireland have been considered by the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland; and what action was taken in each case.
The Solicitor-General
Figures for cases received during 1986 by the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland involving persons injured by the alleged use of baton rounds are as follows:
Number

| Cases | 14 |
| Persons injured (including one fatal injury) | 15 |

| No prosecutions directed | 12 |
In one case a final direction pends the submission to the director of additional evidence.
