Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion

10:30 am

Dr. Gurchand Singh:

There was. I would have to go through my records on this one. The aim was to try to get some resolution on the classifications. I was keen we would get some resolution on the classifications, so we tried to bring the review group back together again to try to move this along. My colleagues from the analysis service felt more time was required to redo or go through again some of these elements of it. We had some debate on this. They felt more time was required. I would have liked to have had it done quicker but in the end we went with a bit more time.
