Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2026
1329. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of people prosecuted for burglary in each of the past ten years; and if a county by county breakdown can be provided on that figure, in tabular form. [42019/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is wholly independent under the Prosecution of Offences Act, 1974. As the Office of the DPP is not a body under my remit I have no role in the operations, functions, oversight or governance of the Office of the Director. As such I am unable to provide any information or statistics on the number of individuals prosecuted for burglary in each of the last ten years.
The Deputy may be interested to note that that the DPP’s published Annual Reports provide statistics on burglary prosecutions. The Annual Reports set out the activities of the Office of the DPP over the period of each calendar year. These are available at the following link: www.dppireland.ie/publication-category/annual-reports/
The Deputy may also wish to note that members of the Houses of the Oireachtas may contact the Office of the DPP for information through media.liaison@dppireland.ie .
