The CSO in December 2024 and March 2025 provided updates to users on the impact on Fraud crime statistics of the backlog in the recording of potential fraud related crime incidents reported to An Garda Síochána by Financial Institutions under Section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2011 on the PULSE system.
The CSO is advised by An Garda Síochána that it continues to work on the backlog of Section 19 referrals from Financial Institutions and is making progress on this issue. In addition, work is ongoing by An Garda Síochána to extend an existing reporting portal to handle Section 19 referrals. This system will improve the consistency and efficiency of the reporting process for Financial Institutions.
In view of this ongoing work, the CSO will continue to publish statistics on recorded incidents of Fraud, Deception & Related offences based on those directly reported to An Garda Síochána by members of the public and recorded on the Garda PULSE system. Therefore, users should continue to exercise caution in the interpretation of published statistics on recorded crime incidents of this offence type as they are below the overall reported level and should be considered incomplete.
This section provides a breakdown of victims of crime incidents of Attempts/Threats to Murder, Assaults, Harassments & Related offences (‘Assault & Related offences’) by age when the incident took place. Table 5.1 compares data for Quarter 2 (Q2) 2024 with Q2 2025. Please note that the number of victims here are slightly different to the number of incidents in Table 2.2 as there can be incidents where no injured party is recorded.
The overall number of people recorded as victims of crime incidents of this offence type remained virtually unchanged at 6,101 in Q2 2025 compared with Q2 2024. The number of male victims rose by 2% to 3,638 and the number of female victims fell by 3% to 2,463 (See Figure 5.1 and Table 5.1).
Looking at the age profile of male victims when the incident occurred, those victims aged 18-29 years showed the largest percentage change over the year, increasing by 11%. Among the other male victim age groups, the change ranged from -2% to +2%. For female victims, the largest percentage change (+11%) was for those aged 60 years or more when the incident occurred. The number of female victims aged 45-59 years fell by 7% and those aged 18-29 years fell by 6%. Female victims under 18 years of age fell by 3% (See Figure 5.1 and Table 5.1).
However, Table 5.2 below shows that the age breakdown of male and female victims has remained relatively stable in Q2 of each year since 2022.
