Vol. 412 No. 3
141 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Justice if he will outline the crime figures for County Westmeath for (1) 1990 and (2) up to 30 September 1991, if he will further outline the figures for the main towns in County Westmeath in these periods; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Crime statistics are recorded on the basis of Garda sub-districts rather than towns or counties. I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of indictable crimes recorded in the sub-districts of Athlone, Mullingar, Moate, Kilbeggan, Kinnegad and Castlepollard for 1990 are as set out in the following tabular statement. Figures for 1991 are not yet finalised.
