Written answers

I have sought the information requested by the Deputy from the Garda authorities, regrettably this information was not available in time. I will write to the Deputy again once the report is to hand.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 681 of 21 June 2022 where you asked: ‘the number of cases of unauthorised taking of a vehicle reported to Gardaí in the J district in 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form’
As you will recall, I sought the information you requested and undertook to contact you again once the information was to hand.
As you will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended) for the management and administration of Garda business, including all operational policing matters. As Minister I have no direct role in the prevention, detection or prosecution of criminal offences.
I am advised that the table below shows the number of reported incidents of the PULSE incidents type ‘Unauthorised Taking (Vehicle)’ reported in the Raheny (J) District during the years specified.
