In response to a recent parliamentary question from TD Thomas Broughan, Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald said she is carrying out a “broader and urgent review” of the criminal justice system’s response to the problem of burglaries.
“This includes a focus on interagency measures in relation to the management of prolific offenders, visible policing, crime prevention support for communities, and an examination of legislative issues. Burglary is a persistent and highly damaging crime, and I am determined to tackle it on a number of fronts, and through a partnership approach between criminal justice agencies and the community.”
Garda operation Acer which was set up in 2012 has resulted in 5,389 arrest over the three year period resulting in 2,746 charges and 1,087 convictions for burglary.
The Gardaí have advised the public to remain vigilant at all time and to report any suspicious activity.
