Since Operation Fiacla commenced, significant inroads have been made into targeting those involved in burglary. As of 30 July, 9,992 persons have been arrested and 5,801 persons have been charged with burglary offences under Operation Fiacla.

I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the specific information requested by the Deputy and I will contact the Deputy directly as soon as it is to hand.
