Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process
9:00 am
Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:
The PULSE system does what it was asked to do in the beginning. The problem is now we are asking it do up things it was never designed to do. Part of the future developments in ICT is to ensure we fill those gaps. If we can, we should make them accessible to PULSE. It is a large database of rich information. Other police services would love to have that level of instant recordings. However, where we lose out is that it is not flexible enough to do things it was not designed to do.
