UP to 15 books of evidence which are due to be served for criminal tri- als have been lost — they were inad- vertently deleted from a computer in the State Solicitor’s office in Ennis. The “human error” was made by a
Staff member in the office, who was in the process of creating a back-up of files on a computer.
An incorrect key was accidentally hit and the loss was incurred 1m- mediately. The computer was sent to Dublin in an effort to retrieve the data. While some indexes have been
recovered, the books of evidence have been lost and will have to be reassembled.
