Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion
Mr. Pat Ryan:
We have statistics but the most significant issue that I have seen since I joined the bureau is the under-reporting of this type of crime. We can only give statistics about crimes that have been reported to us that we are actively investigating. There are difficulties in getting the bigger picture across the jurisdiction, especially about what we are talking about now. The level will be difficult for us to understand. There is a significant issue with under-reporting across all cybercrimes.
