asked the Minister for Justice the number of persons (a) charged, (b) convicted summarily and (c) convicted on indictment for each of the past ten years for the common law crime of eavesdropping; in each case, the number of people so charged or convicted who were remunerated from public funds or who were members of a public body or agency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
66.
asked the Minister for Justice the number of persons in each case (a) charged, (b) convicted summarily and (c) convicted on indictment for each of the past ten years for an offence against section 7 of the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, 1875; in each case, the number of people so charged or convicted who were remunerated from public funds or who were members of a public body or agency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 63, 64, 65 and 66 together.
Such information as is readily available in relation to the matters referred to in these questions is set out in the Garda Commissioner's annual reports on crime, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. It would take a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources to provide details sought other than those that are contained in the annual report. The 1988 report will be published within the next few months and a copy will be placed in the Library.
