Hello all,

I posted not long ago about anyone's experience in Ireland and got replies from two very lovely ladies who thankfully had the person's cases NFA'd, which I'm so happy to hear for them.

However I'd really like to know about what happens in Ireland when they don't throw out the case, say if they found something in their persons devices. In Ireland to my understanding there is a voluntary interview to go over the evidence. I am wondering what happens after? Does the person get arrested and charged at the end of a voluntary interview or is there a time period after that which they are free to go?

The whole process confuses me and any insights are much all.

Thanks

Lucy from Stop it Now!
