It is important to recall the consequences of misclassification. It means the Garda PULSE system does not provide the accurate information essential to the investigation of what may have been a homicide and which is relevant to persons who may be suspected by the Garda of involvement in a homicide. It is important to keep our eye on the key issue here. We want a PULSE system that is extremely accurate and which provides accurate information on any suspicious death. We must ensure that An Garda Síochána recognises that the review must be completed and devotes the resources required to achieve that. The review is not being treated with the seriousness it deserves. It is an extremely sensitive subject and it is imperative that the review be completed. I raise it with the Minister today in order that he ensures its completion. It is not an issue on which I wish to grandstand but the information available to me suggests the review has not been given the urgency it deserves. That is not just in respect of An Garda Síochána but also in respect of the Policing Authority, which was informed of this in April 2017.
