I have one or two questions. Members have been asking parliamentary questions on this issue and I received a response to one yesterday in which I was told I would be written to. I notice that going back to last February, the response to almost every question asked regarding the number of guns that have been stolen is that the Deputy will be written to. However, the Garda Síochána's annual review of the operation of the Firearms Acts 1925 to 2009 that came out in 2013 states, "A total of 1,134 firearms were reported stolen from their owners in the period 2010 to 2013 inclusive, of which 355 were stolen in 2013".

How many of these have been recovered? Do the numbers in the Garda report indicate they have been stolen or have disappeared and have never been recovered? Have any of them been recovered?
