To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of homophobic crimes recorded by the Garda Racial, Intercultural and Diversity Office each year since it was established; the number of these crimes which resulted in prosecutions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39342/12]

The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office, as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have requested the CSO to provide relevant statistics directly to the Deputy.
