Vol. 470 No. 1

Written Answers. - Murder Investigations.

Máirín Quill

Ceist:

79 Miss Quill asked the Minister for Justice the number of murder investigations currently in train by the Garda; the number of cases of murder in 1996 in which a suspect has been charged; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18451/96]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that 40 murders — dating from 1990 to the present — are currently under investigation. Provisional figures for 1996 show that detections have been made in 20 of the 34 murders recorded during the year.
