Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Lois West:

Yes, it does. There is also an element in regard to vetting if incidents are not recorded on the PULSE system correctly and if suspected offenders are not correctly linked to incidents, for example. I am concerned that when we are vetting people for positions in which they might be interacting with vulnerable people, we could be missing things.
