Question
84. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will report on the crime statistics for the Garda Síochána R and J districts in 2014 and in 2015 to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43067/15]
Answer
Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Frances Fitzgerald): The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose.
I have requested the CSO to provide the available statistical information directly to the Deputy.
