Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Oversight and Accountability: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Michael Finn:

I ask the Deputy to bear with us a second. We will try to put the matter in context. If the organisation were to ask for a response to the homicide figures, a number of parties would contribute to that. The analysts would have been part of the team that responded to it. I cannot remember the full acronym we use, but there is a professional development section that prepared the report in conjunction with the analysis service. A number of parties would contribute to the preparation of any of the reports the Policing Authority seeks. It would not specifically come from the analysis service. That is the point I am trying to make.
