430 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of house burglaries which have been reported to the Garda authorities in the Dublin South-West area; the way in which these figures compare with other areas of the city; and the number of individuals who have been charged before the courts on charges relating to these activities.

I am further informed that from 1/1/2002 to 17/11/2002, 1,228 burglaries have been reported to the Garda authorities in the Dublin South-West area, and a total of 171 of these burglaries have been detected. I am also informed that, to date, 205 charges have been brought before the courts relating to these activities. It should be noted that these figures are provisional and subject to change.
