Alan Shatter

Ceist:

199 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Justice the indictable and non-indictable crimes recorded within the Rathfarnham Garda station area in each of the years 1986 to 1993 and for the first six months of 1994 relating to house burglaries, car thefts, assaults, muggings, robberies from financial institutions and robberies from shops. [426/94]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Geoghegan-Quinn)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the information sought in relation to non-indictable offences is not readily available and could be obtained only by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources.

As regards indictable offences reported in Rathfarnham sub-district, the information sought is as follows*:

Year	Burglary House	Unauthorised taking of motor vehicles	Assaults	Muggings	Robberies from (i) shops (ii) financial institutions
					(i)	(ii)
1987	549	304	2	17	n/a	n/a
1988	505	318	2	22	n/a	n/a
1989	523	289	13	5	n/a	n/a
1990	496	324	21	3	n/a	n/a
1991	520	330	12	60	n/a	n/a
1992	570	335	3	65	n/a	n/a
1993	572	346	6	116	23	10

*Note: Figures for 1986 are not on computer and, as such, are not readily available. Figures relating to robberies from shops and financial institutions during the period 1987-92 are being compiled separately. I will convey this information to the Deputy once it is to hand. Official figures for the first six months of 1994 are not yet available.
