As the Deputy will be aware, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of all crime statistics.
However, it is my understanding that the information being sought by the Deputy in relation to this particular crime category is not available through the CSO at this time. To be of assistance, I have requested that the CSO forward the relevant statistics to the Deputy as soon as they become available.
