I am informed by the Garda authorities that the PULSE system is upgraded periodically to support the introduction of new offences and changes to existing offences. These technical upgrades require a very short period of downtime and are carried out using well-proven processes designed to avoid impacting upon Garda operations. The last upgrade was deployed on 1st February, 2015 and there are other maintenance releases planned during quarter 2 and quarter 3 this year.
