In relation to the first part of the Deputy's question, the Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) as the national statistical agency. The CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose.

I have requested the CSO to provide the crime statistics sought by the Deputy directly to him.

With regard to the second part of the Deputy's question, it has not been possible to compile the detailed statistics requested in the time available. I will communicate further with the Deputy when the information sought is to hand.
