Jack Chambers: When the Commissioner appeared before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice and Equality I asked her if she had full confidence in statistics in light of the anomalies highlighted by the CSO and the Garda Inspectorate. She said she was confident that the improvements had been put in place. Does she want to qualify those remarks? I come back to the question as to why this has...
