I am informed by the Garda authorities that the following tables show the number of arrests made, proceedings commenced and convictions for the offences of cultivating or manufacturing of drugs, possession of drugs for sale or supply and simple possession in the Cork West Garda Division for the years 2001 to 2006. I should mention that the figure for convictions is likely to increase as proceedings are disposed of.
