Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Lois West:
I would not want to go that far. I certainly would have concerns. We have four box files of records on the homicide review, so the Deputy will appreciate that it is quite difficult to synopsise that down, as best we can, into statements that can assist the committee. This matter has been ongoing for 15 months. There is a huge volume of records in the form of reports, emails and contemporaneous notes on this one issue. We feel that, in addition to our other responsibilities, we have done two full-time jobs for the past 15 months in terms of trying to get these issues raised and addressed.
