The Garda authorities inform me that the crime statistics compiled by the Garda Síochána do not relate to postal areas. Blanchardstown district covers the Dublin 15 area. The number of offences recorded in Blanchardstown district where a firearm was used was 58 in 2003 and 79 in 2004. It has not been possible in the time available to provide all the information requested by the Deputy. The remaining information is being prepared and I will revert to the Deputy in due course.
