Séamus Hughes

Ceist:

129 Mr. Hughes asked the Minister for Justice the registers which are maintained to record the number and nature of summary and indictable offences on an annual basis indicating whether these are maintained in a central register or at local level. [3678/95]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that indictable crime is inputted at local level on to the Garda Headquarters computer. Non-indictable crimes are also recorded at local level and an annual manual return is made to Garda Headquarters.
