Vol. 229 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cork Housebreaking Offences.

26.

asked the Minister for Justice the number of housebreaking offences committed in Cork in each of the last six years.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the number of offences of housebreaking and related crimes which occurred in the Garda Districts of Cork City North and Cork City South in each of the years 1961 to 1966 inclusive. These districts are not coterminous with the County Borough.

Following is the statement.
