505. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 119 of 16 May 2017 (details supplied), the number of persons convicted and arrested for drink driving by age, gender, county and Garda district in each of the years 2007 to 2017. [54535/17]

As you will recall from my post reply correspondence of 20 July 2017, the Courts Service is not in a position to provide a breakdown by age, by gender, by county or by Garda district of the number of persons convicted for drink driving. However, they did provide the number of persons convicted for drink driving by District Court area from 2007 to 30 April 2017. To be of assistance, the Courts Service have provided updated statistics to 31 December 2017 at Table 1.
I am still awaiting the information you have requested on the number of persons arrested for drink driving from An Garda Síochána and my Department has been in contact with the Garda authorities again in relation to this matter. I will forward on this information once it is to hand.
In my letter of 20 July 2017, I also directed your attention to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) website (www.cso.ie). Please see the StatBank on the Database page, which is the CSO's main data dissemination service and under 'People and Society' you will find 'Crime and Justice', which holds the recorded crime statistics.
Table 1: Report on numbers of persons convicted for drink Driving by Court Area from 01 Jan 2007 to 31 Dec 2017.
Court Area | Jan - Dec 2007 | Jan - Dec 2008 | Jan - Dec 2009 | Jan - Dec 2010 | Jan - Dec 2011 | Jan - Dec 2012 | Jan - Dec 2013 | Jan - Dec 2014 | Jan - Dec 2015 | Jan - Dec 2016 | Jan - Dec 2017 |
