Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 September 2014
309. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide an update on the effectiveness of Operation Fiacla; the resources allocated to this operation in 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35462/14]
View answerSince Operation Fiacla commenced, significant inroads have been made into targeting those involved in burglary. As of 30 July, 9,992 persons have been arrested and 5,801 persons have been charged with burglary offences under Operation Fiacla.
I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the specific information requested by the Deputy and I will contact the Deputy directly as soon as it is to hand.
