Amharc ar fhreagra773. Deputy Ciara Conway asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will outline in tabular form, the number of complaints received by An Garda Síochána in Waterford city and county over the past five years in relation to online bullying or harassment via social media; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1065/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 772 and 773 together.
The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have requested the CSO to provide statistics directly to the Deputy.
