Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Lois West:
I believe a fair assessment would probably be that from 1 December right through until mid-September, we felt that way. Certainly, the Policing Authority meeting of 27 April 2017 was a particular landmark but, as I stated, we still had concerns that, up as far as the meeting of the Policing Authority on 29 June and beyond that, nothing was changing and we were not getting the traction we believed we should get.
