414. Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the most recent crime rate figures available for County Meath, broken down by local Garda station and under the classification of crime; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44731/13]
Amharc ar fhreagra416. Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the most recent crime rate figures available for County Lout, broken down by local Garda station and under the classification of crime; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44733/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 414 and 416 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.
