The figures sought by the Deputy regarding 2002 and 2004 are available in the respective annual reports of the Garda Síochána. I recently published the recorded figure for headline offences in 2005, which amounted to 101,659. Figures provided for 2005 are provisional, operational and liable to change. The number of non-headline offences recorded for 2005, and the detection rate for all offences, will be published in due course.
