Ms Margaret Tumelty:

They have been doing work on that as they have gone along. There is a data quality improvement plan between the Garda and the CSO. As Ms Hall said, the CSO has expressed satisfaction with the pace and the investment the Garda has been making.

As for calls having to go through GISC, it has review teams there now. There have also been merger teams because there was an issue with multiple identities on PULSE. Another key part is the Garda's information technology vision, which is very much not about kit and hardware but about how we deliver information that will allow for information-led policing. The Garda knows its data reach. The difficulty over the years has been the ability to rely on those data, to access those data and to generate the type of reporting that can improve policing. There is a lot within that vision. I refer to the mobility project and the improvement in accuracy achieved through gardaí being able to put fixed charge notices, FCNs, directly into their mobile phones. Data quality comes up across most the big areas we have dealt with.
