Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2023
362. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of violent disorder offences reported to gardaí within the H district of DMR in 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43797/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the recording of information on the Garda PULSE system. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised that the Garda Síochána Analysis Service (GSAS) conducted a search of Garda records on the PULSE system for Affray/Riot/Violent Disorder offences in the Ballymun District for the years requested.
I have also been advised that the count was less than 10 in each of the years requested. As the Deputy may already be aware, data is not released by An Garda Síochána for counts less than 10 for data protection reasons.
