A former Irish police analyst says she was retaliated against for reporting serious homicide data errors, leading to career damage and health issues.
Lois West, a former joint deputy head of the Garda Síochána Analysis Service, says she faced retaliation after raising concerns in 2018 about serious errors in homicide data classification, including 16 cases misclassified as non-homicides.
She claims she was excluded from key decisions, denied a promotion to Principal Officer—awarded to a colleague without a public process—and suffered severe mental and physical health issues, including a debilitating skin condition.
West alleges her career was sabotaged for speaking up, describing herself as "a severed limb," and is pursuing legal complaints under Irish whistleblower and employment laws, citing lack of support from the Garda Commissioner, government, and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
