Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 691 and 692 together.
As the Deputy will appreciate, the Courts Service is responsible for the administration of the Courts system. I have been advised by the Courts Service that it is not possible to provide the data requested by the Deputy as the Courts Service does not record convictions against the Garda station in which a convicted person was arrested.
For the Deputy's information, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) is responsible for the compilation and publication of all crime statistics. The CSO produces these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and makes regular releases under reservation in relation to various crime statistics, including recorded and detected crime. The CSO continues to work with An Garda Síochána to address quality issues in the underlying sources used to compile the statistics.
The table below, from the publicly available data on the CSO's website, shows the number of recorded crime offences in the Ballincollig Garda Station for the years requested.
