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 the unauthorised taking of mechanically propelled vehicle offences reported to Gardaí in Meath can be found on the CSO website by category (theft/taking of vehicle and related offences), Division & year. Link provided below.
