Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Lois West:
That is correct. We had a lot of conversations back and forth at the time. It was several times a day. I remember a particular email to Ms Galligan on 22 November 2016 where I said we really need to be very explicit about what the issues are here.
I believe my words in the email were: "We need to smack the organisation around the face with this. This is potentially very explosive if we are correct."
