asked the Minister for Justice if he will replace the present informal method by which complainants make complaints at Garda stations concerning crimes, by official forms which would be numbered in sequence and provide for carbon copies to be given to the complainant in the interests of reliable methods of recording reported offences; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
