I have made inquiries with the Garda authorities and the information sought by the Deputy is outlined in the table below.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that homicide is one of the headline offences groups used to record crime on the PULSE system. Murder and manslaughter are the two most important offences in the group. However, the group contains other homicide offences such as infanticide, abortion and attempted murder. I understand that other homicide offences recorded in 2003 relate to attempted murder.
