I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of incidents with a racist motive recorded from 2000 to date are set out in the following table. The statistics for 2004 are provisional and are, therefore, subject to change. The total number of arrests is not readily available and can only be obtained by the disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources relative to the information sought.
