‘Wrong not to acknowledge achievements of gardaí’
I realise it is no consolation to someone who has been a victim of crime to point out that the chances of it happening are low. But... the crime rate per 1,000 of population dropped from 26 in 2003 to 24.5 in 2006.
In relation to recent murders... the latest figures are that since August 1, there have been 17 murders and manslaughters. Persons have been charged in respect of 13, or 76%, of these cases…
