Vol. 270 No. 9
asked the Minister for Justice (a) the total number of malicious damages claims pending before the courts, (b) the total amount of these claims, (c) the number arising from bomb damage and (d) the number arising from what might be termed "regular" vandalism; and if he will state the latest date for which these figures are available.
204.
asked the Minister for Justice if in respect of each county he will list the malicious damages claims pending before the courts; the number of claims; and the amount of these claims.
I propose with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 203 and 204 together.
The information sought by the Deputy is not available in my Department. I might say, however, that the amount of money claimed in these cases very often bears little relationship to the amount ultimately awarded or agreed on between the parties.
