Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion
10:30 am
Mr. Michael Finn:
We work with the CSO at a number of levels. People from our IT department will make data transfers to the CSO regularly. Where there are IT issues, it will be resolved at that level.
On the question of giving the CSO any additional information, there is a group at senior level - I was on it with Dr. Singh - which would work with the CSO if it was looking for some additional information or data fields or had queries about data given to it. The CSO is independent in what it does. Any interaction we would have with it would be in the context of facilitating it and giving it additional information or data.
