As the Deputy will be aware, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of all crime statistics. The CSO produces these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and makes regular releases under reservation in relation to various crime statistics. The CSO also continues to work with An Garda Síochána to address quality issues in the underlying sources used to compile the statistics.

The information requested by the Deputy is publicly available on the CSO website at the following link for the 2016 to 2021 period: data.cso.ie/

The Deputy may wish to note that the Garda Síochána Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence report, published in September 2022, also provides similar and further data from page 16 onwards:
