Should ministers be indictable for bad decisions? « politicalreform.ie: Ireland currently has each minister as the legally responsible principal for any actions his or her department take. But this is invested in the office not the individual, so if I sue the Minister for Education, it’s not Mary Coughlan personally and when her successors takes over the lawsuit transfers to that person. She couldn’t lose her house because of an error she or her department made. But in other countries ministers have faced criminal prosecution for their decisions?
