Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion
10:30 am
Dr. Gurchand Singh:
I wrote to everybody who was on our side of the table at the Policing Authority to raise my concerns that I had not had an opportunity to review the report. I thought this was important because the review team had contained analysts and members of An Garda Síochána. If we were to argue that it was to be a joint approach, it was really important that I be able to say I had confidence in it also. I wrote to the management team which was there on the day. That letter was subsequently leaked after which - I am sure people were organising in the background - we were to have a look at the review again to highlight our concerns to see if we could address them.
