- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: The witnesses' statement mentions that there was a decade of wrongdoing in the matters to which they refer. Can they give me information on fixed charge notices from 2006 onwards? They only refer to breath-testing data from 2009 onwards. I want to know what was the data process, if there was one, from 2006 to 2009. If they do not have data on breath-testing, what did they have about...

Jack Chambers: In more recent times, how did anonymity hinder the investigation from the anonymous complaint that was made? Why was a significant length of time spent by the Garda looking for the person who made the complaint to the Road Safety Authority, which was subsequently sent to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and to the Garda? Why did the Garda look for who it was rather than...

Jack Chambers: An instruction was issued to middle management in 2015 about potential problems with recording of data and breath-testing. Was that instruction ignored?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: Was it followed through with regard to data we have seen today?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: So Ms O'Sullivan is confident that there was an accurate recording of data for everything following that instruction?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: I am asking about from when the instruction was issued as opposed to when measures had been taken following the national audit? Did the practice of inaccurate recording of data in the PULSE system continue following Ms O'Sullivan's instruction?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: At a local level, we know that approximately 1 million inaccurate or false records have been input on the PULSE system. Were false car registration numbers submitted? Has a representative sample of data been examined in this regard? What was actually submitted to make the data false?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: Can Mr. Finn give an example of how data were inaccurately recorded?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: We know that the issue is local, divisional, provincial and national. It probably affects every station and every section of the force. Does Mr. Finn accept that that is the case?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: Running through the vernacular of Ms O'Sullivan's statement are words such as "apology", "mistake", "controversy", "wrongdoing", "failure", "incorrect", "deception", "incompetence", "shameful" and "false". How would she describe this collection of words in terms of how the force is dealing with the matter?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: Does it involve individual wrongdoing in every station? To go a little further, it is beyond a marginal statistical mishap and probably beyond an individual mistake; we must, therefore, examine the matter to see what the cultural trigger was for this systematic failure. In her statement Ms O'Sullivan has given us much information on certain timelines, but we have very little information on...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: We know the "what" and want to know the "why", not the "how" or "when". We want to know what the specific trigger was within the force that drove this systematic failure, or do the representatives have an opinion?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: No, I asked for a hypothesis. We will have specifics at the conclusion of the audit. Surely, as a senior officer in the force, Mr. Finn has some hypothesis for what triggered this enormous cultural failure in the inputting of statistical data. Surely, he has some answer to the question.
