Mr. Michael O'Sullivan:

Yes. I highlight recording issues because there were two different interpretations of how the figures were to be recorded and two conflicting manuals in existence. There was one at GISC and one with the operational gardaí. Among my recommendations is that, in future, there is joint training for GISC and the gardaí. On many occasions we heard both bodies disagreeing on what numbers should go into what boxes in PULSE incidents. This resulted in significant data error and the figures were out of kilter by 6 million at one stage.
