814. Deputy Eoin Hayes asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of interventions made in Dublin, by area within Dublin, and by age in each of the years from 2015 to 2025, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [64132/26]

Anti-social behaviour is a broad term often used to describe a range of actions and behaviours that violate social norms in specific contexts.

Along with increased Garda recruitment and resources, the Government is taking a range of targeted and integrated measures to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour generally. These include:

• Introducing Community Safety Partnerships around the country, to develop Community Safety Plans for every area.

• Continued expansion of youth justice and youth diversion measures to reduce youth offending and improve safety for everyone in the community. The budget allocation for Youth Justice measures has increased by 144% from 2020 to 2026 with a significant allocation of €7.3 million in additional core exchequer funding for Youth Justice measures announced as part of Budget 2026.

• Strengthening the laws around Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) to enable swifter action by Gardaí in such cases.

• The implementation and expansion of the High Visibility Policing Plan by An Garda Síochána.

Anti-Social Behaviour Warnings and Anti-Social Behaviour Orders provide a response, through a civil process, to the behaviour of an individual. Gardaí can give a Behaviour Warning verbally or in writing. If they give it verbally, the Garda must put it in writing as soon as reasonably possible and then serve it on the individual in person or by post. Gardaí apply to the court to make an Anti-Social Behaviour Order.

I am informed by the Garda Authorities that the following table is the annual count of the relevant PULSE Incident Types recorded since 2015 and for H1 2026.

In accordance with standard practice An Garda Síochána do not provide specific figures relating to incidents of fewer than ten for data protection reasons. As such a breakdown by Garda Division and by age cannot be disclosed as volumes are too low so may result in the identification of individuals.

I am also advised by the Garda authorities that due to the way PULSE is configured there is no option to record Behaviour Orders for adults.

In respect of incidents of anti-social behaviour reported to Gardaí 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 by An Garda Síochána on the PULSE system and publishes regular releases on recorded crime, by offence type, including public order and related offences. The most recent release includes recorded crime up to the end of 2025 and are available at the following link:
