The figures for headline offences recorded and detected for each Garda Division are available in the relevant Garda Annual Reports, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas library.

I was pleased to note that the Garda annual report for 2005 shows that the total number of headline offences recorded in the Dublin Metropolitan Region decreased from 45.01 per 1,000 of population in 2003 to 39.13 per 1,000 of population in 2005. The number of headline offences recorded in the Dublin Metropolitan Region Northern Division, which includes the Santry Garda District, fell from 27.01 per 1,000 of population in 2003 to 24.63 per 1,000 of population in 2005. The number of headline offences recorded in the Dublin Metropolitan Region Western Division, which includes the Blanchardstown Garda District, fell from 35.52 per 1,000 of population in 2003 to 29.49 per 1,000 of population in 2005.
