Ceist:

142 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Justice the percentage of total crime that was recorded in the Dublin Metropolitan Area in 1995; the figures for the remainder of the country; if she will give a breakdown of the statistics available; the comparative figures for 1975; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that information in relation to indictable offences recorded on a Garda divisional basis is published in the Commissioner's Annual Report on Crime, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. The 1995 report will be published shortly.
