A meeting of the Policing Authority has been given assurances that “no harm was caused” in the case of 114 cancelled 999 calls which have now been deemed to have involved a crime.

Anne Marie McMahon, An Garda Síochána's deputy commissioner for strategy, governance and performance, told the meeting that “based on our victim engagement and subsequent callbacks arising from this review, we are satisfied that no harm was caused by our lack of initial engagement.”
