View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 464 to 466, inclusive, 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 therefore requested the CSO to provide the data, where available, as requested directly to the Deputy.
