Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 January 2016
191. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality given her recent public comments on the matter, the number of recorded burglary offences, by Garda Síochána division, during the last quarter of 2015 in tabular form. [3728/16]
View answerI might clarify that the figures for trends in burglary crime to which I referred recently, including in response to Parliamentary Question No. 8 of yesterday's date, were provided to me on a provisional basis by the Garda authorities, in the context of an overall update on the progress being made under Operation Thor.
As the Deputy is aware the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the publication of recorded crime statistics. I am advised that the full Divisional breakdown of recorded crime, including burglary offences, for the last quarter of 2015 will be published in due course in the next CSO quarterly crime statistics release.
