As the Deputy will be aware, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of all crime statistics. The CSO produces these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and makes regular releases under reservation in relation to various crime statistics. The CSO also continues to work with An Garda Síochána to address quality issues in the underlying sources used to compile the statistics.

The table attached, drawn from the published data available at data.cso.ie/table/CJQ06, provides the number of Public Order and other social code offences by Garda Division for 2015 - 2021, and for Q1 and Q2 of 2022 (the latest published statistics available).
