268. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of domestic/gender/sexual-based violent incidents reported to An Garda Síochána in each division of the Dublin Metropolitan Region for the years 2018 to 2024, and the latest figures for 2025. [54002/25]

The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, this includes all operational matters.

In relation to the specific information sought by the Deputy, I am advised by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide information specific to ‘domestic/gender/sexual-based violent incidents’ as this is not a structured field on PULSE. The most up to date specific data on this topic can be found in the Domestic, Sexual and Gender based Violence Report published by An Garda Síochána in 2022 (www.garda.ie/en/about-us/our-departments/office-of-corporate-communications/news-media/an-garda-siochana-domestic-sexual-and-gender-based-violence-report-sept-22.pdf).

However, An Garda Síochána can provide figures specific to the topic of Domestic Abuse Incidents.

The table below provides details of the total number of Domestic Abuse Incidents reported from 2018 to Q3 2025.

Domestic Abuse Incidents include:

• Breach of Barring Order,

• Breach of Emergency Barring Order,

• Breach of Safety Order,

• Breach of Protection Order,

• Breach of Interim Barring Order,

• Coercive Control,

• Domestic - No Offence Identified,

• Or is any incident type, but has a recorded ‘Domestic Abuse’ motive.

All figures are based on operational data from PULSE and are liable to change.
