Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Garda authorities that there were 48,387 indictable offences recorded in 1975. I have been further informed that there were 103,360 headline offences recorded in 2003. As the Deputy is aware, statistics for 2003 are provisional and are, therefore, subject to change. Comparable statistics for the current year will not be available until the year is over.
