Amharc ar fhreagra134. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of crimes committed and reported in each of the past five years to date with reference to both urban and rural areas; the degree to which the perpetrators were on bail at the time of the alleged offences; the extent to which convictions followed by county in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4653/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 132 and 134 together.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of all crime statistics. The table shows the number of crime incidents which are recorded as having at least one offender on bail for the years 2013-2017. The Deputy will have received this information as part of the response to Parliamentary Question No. 68 for answer today.
I have asked officials in my Department to engage with the CSO in relation to the additional information sought by the Deputy and I will contact him directly when the information is to hand.
No. of Crime Incidents which are Recorded as having at least one Offender on Bail for the years 2013 - 2017
