I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of unlawful killings recorded since the first of June 2000 to date is seven, all of which are currently being treated as murders. Three of the seven murders are detected, and proceedings have commenced in all three cases. I should state that these statistics are provisional, and are subject to change.
