Minister for Justice

I propose to take Questions Nos. 515 and 516 together.

As the Deputy will be aware, 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.

Figures in respect of theft offences are available on the CSO website for the years 2003 to 2021 on the CSO website at the following link: www.data.cso.ie/table/CJA07

Figures for Q4 2022 will be published by the CSO next month and I look forward to reviewing these statistics once published.

Question No. 516 answered with Question No. 515.
