View answerWritten answers
I propose to take Questions Nos. 455 and 456 together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the following tables show the number of manslaughter and murder incidents recorded and undetected by Garda Division for the years 2009 to 2011 and in 2012 up to 13 December. It should be noted that not all Garda Divisions align exactly with county boundaries. The figures provided are operational and liable to change. As the Deputy will appreciate, it is expected that the number of detections will increase over time as Garda investigations are concluded and proceedings commenced.
I am further informed that all outstanding incidents are under active investigation, or are before the Courts and members of An Garda Síochána are utilising all available legislation to pursue these crimes. I will continue to support the Gardaí in their work to investigate and detect these offences.
