Vol. 467 No. 2

Written Answers. - Indictable Violent Crimes.

James McDaid

Ceist:

72 Dr. McDaid asked the Minister for Justice the number of indictable crimes committed in each month to date during 1996; the nature of these offences; whether the amount of violence used in respect of offences has generally increased and become more vicious; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12905/96]

It is not the practice for the Minister for Justice to comment in detail on provisional crime figures. Accordingly, all I propose to say in this case is that the provisional figures compiled for the first four months of 1996 show a decrease in the overall number of indictable crimes recorded compared to the corresponding period last year.
