The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024.
I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of crime, be it bicycle theft or otherwise, to please report it by contacting their local Garda Station.
I note that according to provisional crime figures released this week by An Garda Síochána bicycle thefts are down by 4% nationally.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the number objects or vehicles described as ‘bicycles’ which were either ‘Found’, ‘Recovered’ or ‘Seized’ between 2020 and 2025 nationwide. The information provided is based upon operational data from the PULSE system and is liable to change.
