Significant reduction in a wide range of crimes – provisional figures.

Laghdú suntasach ar raon leathan coireanna – figiúirí sealadacha.

There was a significant reduction in the first quarter of the year in a wide range of crimes reported to the Gardaí, including robbery, burglary, theft, violent disorder and crimes against the person.

Bhí laghdú suntasach sa chéad ráithe den bhliain ar raon leathan coireanna ar tugadh tuairisc orthu do na Gardaí, lena n-áirítear robáil, buirgléireacht, gadaíocht, mí-ord foréigneach agus coireanna in aghaidh an duine.

As for burglaries, the Gardaí say there was a 17% decrease compared to the same quarter last year and a 29% decrease in burglaries involving violence.

Mar le buirgléireacht, deir na Gardaí gur laghdú de 17 faoin gcéad a bhí ann i gcomparáid leis an ráithe chéanna anuraidh agus laghdú de 29 faoin gcéad a bhí i gceist i gcás bhuirgléireacht le foréigean.

In addition, there was an 8% reduction in assaults resulting in injury.

Ina cheann sin, bhí laghdú de 8 faoin gcéad ar ionsaithe ar dhaoine a ndearnadh díobháil dóibh dá mbarr.

There was a 25% reduction in robbery and a 27% reduction in robbery from the person.

Bhí laghdú de 25 faoin gcéad ar robáil agus laghdú de 27 faoin gcéad ar robáil ón duine.

There was a 30% reduction in theft from the person, a 32% reduction in theft from vehicles and a 6% reduction in shoplifting.

Bhí laghdú de 30 faoin gcéad ar ghadaíocht ón duine, laghdú de 32 faoin gcéad ar ghadaíocht ó fheithiclí agus laghdú de 6 faoin gcéad ar ghadaíocht ó shiopaí.

There was a 14% reduction in bicycle theft.

Laghdú de 14 faoin gcéad a bhí ar ghadaíocht rothar.

There was also a 40% reduction in the number of serious road accidents, say the Gardaí.

Bhí laghdú de 40 faoin gcéad ar an líon timpistí bóthair tromchúiseacha chomh maith, a deir na Gardaí.

On average, 130 road accidents occurred every day and 23 drivers were arrested every day for driving under the influence of drink or drugs.

Ar an meán, tharla 130 timpiste bóthair gach lá agus gabhadh 23 tiománaí gach lá as tiomáint faoi thionchar an óil nó drugaí.

Conversely, there was an increase in a number of crimes in the first quarter of the year, including a significant 61% increase in fraud.

Os a choinne sin, bhí méadú ar roinnt coireanna sa chéad ráithe den bhliain, lena n-áirítear méadú suntasach de 61 faoin gcéad ar chalaois.

The increase is due to fraud crimes being reported more frequently, say the Gardaí.

Coireanna calaoise a bheith á dtuairisciú níos minice is cúis leis an méadú sin, a deir na Gardaí.

These are all provisional figures and the Central Statistics Office will publish the official figures next month.

Is figiúirí sealadacha iad ar fad agus foilseoidh an Phríomh-Oifig Staidrimh na figiúirí oifigiúla an mhí seo chugainn.
