The publication of Recorded Crime statistics by the CSO is dependent on the provision of PULSE data by An Garda Síochána (AGS) to the CSO. AGS are currently reviewing the homicide data recorded in the PULSE system. The CSO recognises the importance of recorded crime statistics to users and have engaged with AGS to complete this review as quickly as possible. As AGS have indicated that the review process in relation to the queries raised by CSO should be completed in the near future, the CSO plans to recommence publication of recorded crime statistics within the first six months of 2018.
