Can anyone think of a case brought by the DPP as a result of him being sent something by a Minister?

Doesn't somebody have to ask the relevant Gardaí branch to open a new investigation ? Corelli and rubensni were quite clear yesterday that this report does not constitute evidence wrt a DPP prosecution.

Judge Moriarty's report will be sent to the Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.He will ask senior officers to examine areas of the report to determine whether further investigation is warranted on specific matters raised in the tribunal's findings.While no statement made at a tribunal can be used as evidence in further proceedings which may follow on as a result of consideration of the inquiry's findings,those findings would set out a road map for further investigation.
It is likely that consideration would be given to the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 to 2004.

Didn't the Flood Tribunal eventually lead to the successful prosecution of Ray Burke though (albeit indirectly I guess)?

Agreed...and they will still be investigating the people over in Anglo then. Either that, or the Anglo cases will have been dropped for lack of evidence.

Those Anglo shredders were certainly worth the money.

A bit like Al Capone, all they could nail on him was tax evasion, so yes it was indirectly.

Lawlor went to jail for obstruction I believe.

So it looks like no politician has gone to jail for corruption.

RTE reporting further detail on areas that CAB will zone in on for investigation purposes following initial consideration of the Moriarty Tribunal findings.
Paul Reynolds reports that the CAB have commenced an investigation into the financial affairs of Michael Lowry.
It will centre on three transfers to Lowry,and will also broaden out to his tax status.
