That responsibility rests with the Central Statistics Office (CSO), established under the Statistics Act 1993. Under Section 13 of the Statistics Act 1993, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) is fully independent in its role of issuing statistics.
All of the CSO's recorded crime statistics are available at: data.cso.ie/product/RC
The report titled CJA11: Recorded Crime Incidents provides recorded crime information broken down to Garda station level and by type of offence. This is available from the link: data.cso.ie/table/CJA11
Furthermore, the CSO publishes quarterly bulletins on recorded crime and these are also available from the CSO website at: www.cso.ie/en/statistics/crimeandjustice/
