Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
312. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of incidents reported to An Garda Síochána at each Garda station in County Donegal for each of the years 2008 to 2017, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12029/18]
View answerThe Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of the official recorded crime statistics, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have asked the CSO to forward the available statistics in relation to the information requested for the years 2008-2016 directly to the Deputy.
As the Deputy will know, the CSO has not yet published official recorded crime statistics for 2017 but I have been informed that the CSO intends to recommence publication under reservation during the second quarter of this year.
