Vol. 471 No. 7

Written Answers. - Offences Against Public Order.

Denis Foley

Ceist:

321 Mr. Foley asked the Minister for Justice the number of prosecutions which have been taken under the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994, in respect of each of the years 1994 and 1995; and the results of these prosecutions. [22059/96]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that statistics for prosecutions under the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994 which came into operation on 3 April 1994, are readily available only for 1995. In that year there were 10,209 prosecutions under the Act and convictions were secured in 7,012 of the cases. Charges were proved-orders made without conviction in another 759 cases.
