We have had a year's unnecessary delay, possibly endangering domestic violence victims in the meantime. We do not know, given that this did not happen. It is undisputed that a report relating to the homicide review was formally requested by the Policing Authority via request 210. Ms Lois West furnished that report to senior Garda management, but it was not forwarded to the Policing Authority. A procedural document that, under the legislative and regulatory relationship between the Policing Authority and An Garda Síochána, was required to be handed over to the authority was not provided to it. Does Mr. Nugent know who took the decision not to hand it over?
