The Central Statistics Office today published the recorded crime statistics for the fourth quarter of 2010. Speaking on publication, the Minister for Justice and Law Reform, Mr Brendan Smith T.D., welcomed the decrease in nine of the 14 crime groups for which figures are given, compared with the same quarter in 2009.
Minister Smith said: "The picture presented by these figures reflects the continuing commitment and focused policing of An Garda Síochána. Although the public finances are under considerable pressure, the Garda budget is nevertheless greater than the expenditure outturn for 2010. The Commissioner and I are determined that the resources available will be prioritised on frontline services and utilised with the greatest degree of efficiency achievable."
