Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

As the Deputy will be aware the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the publication of recorded crime statistics.

To be of assistance, I have requested the CSO to contact the Deputy directly with a view to providing him with the available statistics in relation to the matters referred to.
