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 Deputy will be interested to know that the CSO publish figures across a number of categories including Murder and Attempts/Threats to Murder, Manslaughter and Infanticide. These figures can be found at the following link: data.cso.ie/table/CJA01
The Deputy may also be interested to know that there is also a section on Homicide Offences in the recently published Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence report.
