Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 June 2014
487. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of burglaries that have been reported in County Louth in the past three years; the average Garda response times for call outs in County Louth; the number of arrests and successful convictions in relation to these burglaries in County Louth; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), 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. With respect to the Deputy's query concerning Garda response times, I have asked the Garda authorities for a report in that regard and will contact him directly when it is to hand.
