View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 330 and 331 together.
The 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 such relevant information as may be available directly to the Deputy.
