Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach

The CSO will resume publication of recorded crime statistics by the end of June 2015. Data for Q3 2014, Q4 2014 and Q1 2015 will be published.

These results will be accompanied by an analysis of the quality of the data source used for statistical purposes and, by extension, the quality of the recorded crime statistics.
