There have often been reports about the CSO being unable to accept the reliability of figures that come from An Garda Síochána on various matters, that it cannot stand over them and often sends them back. Can you send us a note on any sets of information that the Garda is currently collecting and which the CSO is not satisfied to publish in its statistics? It is something we hear about now and again. It is possibly the tip of the iceberg and perhaps there are more categories of information that the CSO does not publish because it is not satisfied. It would be useful to provide that to us. This will help the Garda to make the case to have whatever requirements are necessary to solve the problem.
