Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 March 2010
140 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of crimes by category committed and reported in County Kildare in each of the past five years and to date in 2010; the number of prosecutions arising therefrom; the success or other wise of such prosecutions; the extent of property recovered thereafter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13372/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office, as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I will make arrangements, as soon as possible, to forward the Deputy's request to the CSO for direct reply. I draw the Deputy's attention to the publication Garda Recorded Crime Statistics 2004 — 2008, available on the website of the Central Statistics Office www.cso.ie, which includes a detailed breakdown of offences by Garda Division.
