asked the Minister for Justice the number of robberies which have taken place since January, 1977, stating in each case the name, address, date and amount stolen, if known, of each robbery.
Written Answers. - Robbery Statistics.
292.
The number of robberies and aggravated burglaries recorded as having been committed in the period 1st January to 31st October, 1977, is as follows:
Robbery with arms |
237 |
(including 58 offences which were also aggravated burglaries) |
|
Other robberies |
550 |
Aggravated buglaries (not being armed robberies) |
240 |
Assembling the other information sought in the question would involve a search through the records of each Garda station in the country. It would not be possible to do this in the time available and I do not consider that the allocation of scarce Garda resources to the task of compiling the information would be justified.
