I propose to take Questions Nos. 2298, 2299 and 2300 together.
The Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration does not collate or publish crime statistics. That responsibility rests with the Central Statistics Office (CSO), established under the Statistics Act 1993. Under Section 13 of the Statistics Act 1993, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) is fully independent in its role of issuing statistics.
Recorded crime statistics are published quarterly and are available from the CSO website at www.cso.ie/en/statistics/crimeandjustice/
The CSO also publishes detailed information at www.data.cso.ie. The report titled CJQ06: Recorded Crime Incidents provides the information requested by the Deputy by type of offence and by Garda Division.
