Mary Coughlan

Question:

118 Miss Coughlan asked the Minister for Justice the number of arrests and prosecutions made by the Garda in County Donegal in 1995 which were drug related; the number of such arrests and prosecutions made by the Garda in County Donegal up to 30 April 1996; and the amount of drugs impounded by the Garda and customs service during this period. [11796/96]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that information in relation to the enforcement of the misuse of drugs legislation by the garda in the Donegal Garda Division for 1995 is set out in the following tables:

Persons arrested and prosecuted

Total No. Person Arrested

140

Total No. Persons Prosecuted

116

Quantities Seized

Cannabis Herb

112 grams

Cannabis Resin

16 grams

Ecstasy

154 Tablets

LSD

59 Tablets

It is important to note that all figures for 1995 are provisional and that figures for 1996 are not yet readily available.
