Question:38 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will ensure that crime statistics are collected to indicate trends in rural and urban areas in view of fears of the public that crime increasing in rural areas cannot be proven or disproven in the Balbriggan Garda district in view of the fact there is no breakdown of reported crime on a rural and urban basis.
