    Gardaí deal with reports
    If they and/or DPP think there should be a prosecution, Courts then deal with the evidence when presented

    I guess the OP was a typo and should have read "same alleged perp".

    In my experience it would not be unusual for several similar or related charges to be heard at the same time. e.g. a number of burglary charges to be heard together or say public order with a related assault or criminal damage charge or several related motoring offences.

    Its in the defendants interest to get all charges dealt with at once..and, it seems, if facing conviction for some to confess others to get as many as possible cleared up. Thats why you sometimes see things like 'the defendant pleaded guilty to 5 charges and 27 others were taken into account'.

    This way, the sentence for multiple offences are much lower (and concurrent) than if they were tried separately.

    To counteract this, legislation was passed about a year ago that for chronic burglars, sentences were to be consecutive not concurrent, but I havent seen many cases of the courts actually implementing this yet.
