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. The CSO produce these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and make regular releases under reservation in relation to various crime statistics, including recorded and detected crime. The CSO continues to work with An Garda Síochána to address quality issues in the underlying sources used to compile the statistics.
The particular breakdown (by county) sought by the Deputy is not available. I can however inform the Deputy that relevant statistics on murder, as well as other crimes, by Garda Division are published by the CSO under reservation. The statistics for 2012 to 2021 are available at: data.cso.ie/table/CJQ06
