Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Ms Galligan has given a comprehensive breakdown of the data from June, July, September and October. There are four sets of data - four reports - for the homicide and suspicious death incidents. There appears to be a growing number in each of the metrics used for homicides, the unrecorded numbers, deaths where there was no crime, where there was suspicion regarding a death and fatal hit and runs. It is clear that there is a rolling discovery that occurred last year. Has the matter been rectified or does Ms Galligan believe there are still problems with the core pillars she has outlined in the submission?
