Further work on homicide data needed

The Policing Authority has told An Garda Síochána to carry out “further work” on its homicide data after the force claimed that issues had been fixed.

The authority also criticised the delay by Garda management in addressing the concerns, which first emerged 10 months ago.

Describing the response by Garda chiefs as “frustrating”, the authority said it was particularly disappointed in the difficulty in getting information from the organisation.
