Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2015
142. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of complaints made to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation in 2012 to 2014, inclusive, and to date in 2015; and the number of prosecutions which took place relating to these complaints in 2012 to 2014, inclusive, and to date in 2015.

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 asked the CSO to provide available statistics on the number of recorded fraud offences and prosecutions in the years referred to directly to the Deputy.
