a. Records that show any research and analysis done of the true levels of violence, crime, intimidation and threats in the north inner city, as mentioned in this piece: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and- law/garda-to-follow-scottish-approach-in-tackling-north-inner-city-violence- 1.4478579 . In particular in the paragraph that says: "The Irish Times understands a key part of the initial phase of the new response involves determining the true levels of violence, crime, intimidation and threats in the north inner city, including in the area of domestic violence. This would include official crime data bolstered by hospital records of crime-related injuries, victimisation surveys and addiction-related data." b. I would also like any internal correspondence and attachments between officials in the Department of Justice of Principal Officer level and above, that relates to the findings of this research.
