As the Deputy will be aware the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the publication of the Official Recorded Crime Statistics. I am advised that it is not possible to provide the level of disaggregation sought by the Deputy in relation to the category of offences referred to. I have, however, asked the CSO to provide such relevant statistics as are available to the Deputy.
