185 Deputy George Lee asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of burglaries in Ballinteer, Dublin 16, recorded on the Garda pulse system in 2007, 2008 and to date in 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47221/09]

The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office, as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have requested the CSO to provide the statistics sought by the Deputy directly to him.
