As indicated in replies to PQ 45745/17 and PQ 52939/17, I sought and received a report from the Garda Commissioner in relation to the number of weapons that were stolen from houses and vehicles in the past five years.
As indicated in response to PQ 52939/17 of 12 December 2017 clarification has been sought from the Commissioner on the information provided in the report, which is awaited. My Department is in ongoing communication with the Garda Commissioner in this regard. I will write to the Deputy with a full reply when the information sought has been received.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
