Mr. Michael Finn:

We have put in place a number of measures to change how we categorise crimes on PULSE, etc., and where we input the crime. We have centralised the whole process to ensure all crimes will be recorded at the Garda information services centre. The current project will have covered half the country by next week. We have already completed two regions and a further two regions will be completed next week. As a result of this project, we will have a system in place that will allow us to lock down classification. There will be one central location for classification of crimes. This will be done in our centre in Castlebar and we will be able to lock down the rest of the system.
