Seán Barrett

Ceist:

175 Mr. S. Barrett asked the Minister for Justice the number of car thefts in the Dublin Metropolitan Area for each of the years between 1987 and 1990, and to date in 1991.

The only information which is readily available on this matter is set out in the following tabular statement. Figures for 1991 are not yet available. It is assumed that the question is also intended to include vehicles taken without the owner's consent even though this does not constitute stealing in the strict legal sense.
