Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: I agree with Mr. Finn that PULSE in general is at the root of many problems. I know our discussions are on data, key performance indicators, KPIs, and multiple other crime statistics and elements. When will the witnesses be confident that the CSO can properly verify the data that is produced? That is a confidence issue for data collection generally. Perhaps Dr. Singh can answer my...

Is Mr. Sutton confident that the other side is presenting the subsequent facts? Is that another issue, for which the Garda Síochána would not be directly responsible?

Order of Business (13 Feb 2018)
