I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of women reported missing in each of the past five years is as follow:
|
Year |
Number |

1999 |
811 |

I should add, for the information of the Deputy, that approximately 2,000 individuals are reported missing each year and, of these, less than 1% are still missing at year end.
