Public Accounts Committee

2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 41 - Policing Authority

9:30 am

Ms Helen Hall:

No. Legal advice would never be published. It is not a report, as such. It is legal advice and it is not our intention to publish that. We published the homicide review which is available on our website. It details overall recommendations arising from the review, of which there are a number. That is part of our ongoing oversight. A number of recommendations still have to be implemented and we will follow those up with the Garda Commissioner this year.

Some of them relate to changes that need to be made to the PULSE system. One of the important things in homicide, for example, is to have peer reviews and double check whether everything has been looked at. We are anxious for peer reviews on homicides and to have the right support in divisions to look at homicides going forward.
