Question 184: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a unique reference number is given to crime reported directly to the Garda station by telephone or in person rather than using the emergency telephone; if this is recorded on the Pulse System; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24609/10]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that, where a crime has occurred, a record of the crime is created on the Garda PULSE system, which produces a unique reference number for that crime. This reference number is produced irrespective of how a crime is reported. Where appropriate, this unique reference number can be made available to relevant parties.
