Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2024
414. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of robbery from the person offences reported to gardaí within R district of the Dublin Metropolitan Region, DMR, in 2023 and to-date in 2024, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7605/24]
View answerAs 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 in relation to various crime statistics. The most recent statistics were released on 20 December 2023, providing statistics for Recorded Crime for Quarter 3 (Q3) 2023.
I understand that the "R District" referred to by the Deputy relates to Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) North Division, Coolock District and comprises of the following Garda stations: Coolock, Swords, and Malahide. Figures in respect of the number of Robbery from the Person Offences reported to Gardaí in the DMR North Division, can be found on the CSO website at the following link: data.cso.ie/table/CJQ06
However, it is worth noting that crime statistics for Q4 of 2023 are not yet available and are due to be published by the CSO in the coming weeks.
