Minister for Justice and Equality

As you will recall from my post reply correspondence of 20 July 2017, the Courts Service is not in a position to provide a breakdown by age, by gender, by county or by Garda district of the number of persons convicted for drink driving. However, they did provide the number of persons convicted for drink driving by District Court area from 2007 to 30 April 2017. To be of assistance, the Courts Service have provided updated statistics to 31 December 2017 at Table 1.

I am still awaiting the information you have requested on the number of persons arrested for drink driving from An Garda Síochána and my Department has been in contact with the Garda authorities again in relation to this matter. I will forward on this information once it is to hand.

In my letter of 20 July 2017, I also directed your attention to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) website (www.cso.ie). Please see the StatBank on the Database page, which is the CSO's main data dissemination service and under 'People and Society' you will find 'Crime and Justice', which holds the recorded crime statistics.
