I propose to take Questions Nos. 495 to 497, inclusive, together.

The Deputy will appreciate that, as the CSO is the independent national statistical agency, the format of the recorded crime statistics which it publishes are matters for it to determine.

Crime statistics are derived from data (including PULSE data) which is transmitted by criminal justice agencies to the CSO. I understand that is not feasible to disaggregate the data along the lines sought by the Deputy.
