Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Laura Galligan:

I can answer the first part with regard to the analysis I have already done. I assure members that I will go back in any instance with the victim in the lead-up to every domestic homicide I will be reviewing - be it months or years. I would have questions about whether they have been recorded correctly. I have come across incidents that I do not believe were recorded correctly, for example, when they were recorded in attention and complaints when they should have been as a domestic incident. I am not up to date regarding what the up-to-date policy is and whether they informed that a previous incident occurred.
