409 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the annual cost or estimated cost of criminal damage and vandalism for 1997 to 2002; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16838/03]
I regret that the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in the format requested. Statistics on criminal damage and arson are published in the annual reports of the Garda Síochána, which are available in the Oireachtas Library. The estimated cost is not, however, published in the reports.
