Ceist:

231 Mr. E. Walsh asked the Minister for Justice if she will give details of the crime figures reported, detected and convictions in respect of Tallaght, Clondalkin and Crumlin Garda stations for each of the years from 1992 to 1995; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11684/96]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the information in relation to the first two categories is as set out in tables below:

Crumlin Sub-District.

Year	Total No. Offences Recorded	Total No. Persons Convicted
1992	891	185
1993	971	141
1994	1,057	254
1995	1,162	25

Tallaght Sub-District.

Year	Total No. Offences Recorded	Total No. Offences Detected
1992	1,758	427
1993	2,160	672
1994	1,633	561
1995	1,782	593

Clondalkin Sub-District.

Year	Total No. Offences Recorded	Total No. Offences Detected
1992	878	229
1993	1,011	264
1994	1,246	361
1995	1,388	345

It is important to note that the figures in respect of offences recorded and detected are as of 31 December of the relevant calendar year and detected before 16 January of the succeeding year. All figures for 1995 are provisional.

I am informed that the records of convictions are incomplete and that accurate information cannot, therefore, be provided for them.
