This morning.
After a 12-month suspension due to quality issues in regards to PULSE data from An Garda Siochana, the Central Statistics Office resumed releasing its recorded crime statistics.
However, the new figures have been released under the proviso ‘Under Reservation’ because PULSE data is subject to several ongoing reviews and doesn’t meet the CSO’s standards for accuracy.
The revised homicide figures show between 2003 and 2016, there were three deaths wrongly categorised as murder, 196 road deaths which should have been classified as dangerous driving deaths and 41 deaths which should have been recorded as manslaughter.
The CSO also released its recorded crime figures for 2017 – also under the ‘Under Reservation’ tab…

Seriously, if you are stopped at a garda checkpoint, how can you trust what happens there will be accurately recorded.
you can trust that it won’t be.
accurately record it with yer phone, get your pulse cert at the station., no?
I would have preferred they didn’t release any figs, due to the strict provisos on them figs, which makes them pretty much pointless really.
PricewaterhouseCoopers is being paid €500,000 to conduct a “cultural audit” of An Garda Síochána.
The results aren’t in yet but here’s the scoop: they’ve found zero culture.
An inside source has told me you’d have more luck finding any culture in a pack of rabies-infected hyenas or Alan Shatter SC.
