Written answers

Minister for Justice

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 produces these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and makes regular releases under reservation in relation to various crime statistics. The CSO also continues to work with An Garda Síochána to address quality issues in the underlying sources used to compile the statistics.

Figures in respect of suspected crime reported to Gardaí in Cork, by station, can be found on the CSO website at the link below. However, it is worth noting that crime statistics Q1 2023 are not yet available and are due to be published by the CSO in the coming month.
