It was stated that an electronic system was essential in this area. I am sure the inspectorate is well aware of the many failings of the PULSE system. We have been highlighting the huge sums the Garda spends on IT in return for a very poor service. The Garda does not even follow procurement guidelines. It has been a horror. Has the inspectorate an input into how this should be done in future? If the system set up in this context is a mere add-on to the current arrangements with the likes of Accenture, we are looking for trouble. Has the inspectorate an input in this area?
