Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring:

That is a matter on which we need clarity. The first issue is to get the Garda to use the PULSE system properly, which is a matter for Garda management, having established its proper use and functioning. Clearly, in so far as we carry out investigations, it seems natural that we should have access to the PULSE system. Again, there has to be clarity between GSOC and the Garda on how it is to be used and who will use it. We would have no difficulty in working out those protocols. Again, it is an investigative tool which would assist in a number of our investigations and answering questions quickly in some instances.
