A number of Garda Districts include parts of County Kildare. Accordingly, to compile statistics in the manner requested by the Deputy would require a disproportionate use of Garda time and resources.

The Garda Annual Reports for 2001-2005 give a detailed breakdown of the number of robbery and aggravated burglary offences recorded in each Garda Division. Copies of these reports are available in the Oireachtas Library.
