View answer156 Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the type of crimes committed by criminals on bail from 2007 to 2009, inclusive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17064/10]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 155 and 156 together.
The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office, as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have requested the CSO to provide statistics directly to the Deputy.
