Bruton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of cases of violent assault reported to the Garda on Dublin's northside to date in 2002; the way in which this compares with the same period in each of the past five years; and the number of these cases which have resulted in actual bodily harm. [19568/02]

134 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will provide an analysis of the nature of violent assaults reported to the Garda on Dublin's northside over the past five years, distinguishing cases involving the use of an offensive weapon, cases where theft was the main motive, cases that occurred as a result of rows at pubs or night-clubs and so on. [19570/02]
