Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 April 2024
513. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of aggravated burglaries reported to gardai in the B District within DMR in the first three months of 2024; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19109/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 CSO produces these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and makes regular releases in relation to various crime statistics. The most recent statistics were released on 25 March 2024, providing statistics for Recorded Crime for Quarter 4 (Q4) 2023.
I understand that the "B District" referred to by the Deputy relates to Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) South Central Division, Pearse Street District. Figures in respect of the number of Aggravated Burglaries Offences reported to Gardaí in the DMR South Central Division can be found on the CSO website at the following link: data.cso.ie/table/CJQ06.
However, it is worth noting that crime statistics for Q1 of 2024 are not yet available and are due to be published by the CSO towards the end of June.
I am informed by the Garda Authorities that no incidents of Aggravated Burglary were reported within Pearse Street (B) District during Q1 2024.
