With regard to the working group established on foot of the Policing Authority's work, I know Assistant Commissioner Finn has said he is absolutely sure that all of the investigations have been done properly but I put it to him that nobody else is sure of this. The Policing Authority is not sure and neither are we. This is partly why the review is taking place. In the context of the review, I want to be absolutely sure that, in the context of the working group and the review of the misclassification of homicides, there will be a review of previous domestic violence incidents on the murdered person's PULSE file and a review of how they were classified.
