Question:198 Mr. Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of persons charged with and subsequently convicted of the offence of larceny by finding each year since 1990. [22972/99]
Written Answers. - Larceny Offences.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that Garda Síochána annual reports describe larcenies in terms of the property types involved. The statistics do not distinguish between larcenies by finding and other larcenies. The information sought is therefore not readily available and could only be obtained by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of staff time and resources.
