I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána, but I have not received this information in time. I will write to the Deputy as soon as the information is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question number 1475 of 21 April 2021 where you requested the number of incidents of theft of MPVs reported to An Garda Síochána in the Blanchardstown district in each of the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and to date in 2021, in tabular form.
You will recall that the information could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and contact you again when more up to date information was available.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that a search of the PULSE database was conducted on 20 April 2021 to identify all incidents of ICCS Type ‘0811 - Theft/Unauthorised Taking of a Vehicle’ reported within Blanchardstown District since 1 January 2018.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table below, which has been provided to me by the Garda authorities, sets out the total count of unique valid incidents reported from 2018 up to and including 20 April 2021.
