Fraud Crime Statistics

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 crime 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.

Table 4.1 provides further breakdown by offence group of the total number of recorded crime incidents for the year to Quarter 3 (Q3) 2025 compared with the year to Q3 2024.

There were 67 recorded incidents of Homicide & Related offences in the year to Q3 2025 and this was down by 22 incidents or 25% from the same period in 2024. Decreases in incidents of Dangerous Driving Leading to Death (-27 incidents or -53%) accounted for most of the change over the year.

Recorded crime incidents of Robbery, Extortion & Hijacking offences fell by 313 incidents or 13% over the year and this was driven mainly by a fall in incidents of Robbery from the Person (-216 incidents or -19%) and Robbery of an Establishment or Institution (-104 incidents or -23%).

The fall of 1,240 recorded crime incidents or 12% over the year in the number of recorded incidents of Burglary & Related offences was driven by a fall of 1,126 incidents or 12% in the number of incidents of burglary where there was no aggravation.

Among the offence groups, where the number of crime incidents increased over the period were Attempts or Threats to Murder, Assaults, Harassments & Related offences (+3%), Weapons & Explosives offences (+1%), and Public Order & Other Social Code offences (+2%).

The number of recorded crime incidents of Sexual offences remained virtually unchanged over the period.

¹ Based on data extracted 03 December 2025.
² Data may be subject to revision.
³The annualised figure for a given quarter is the total number of crimes recorded in the 12 months prior to end of that quarter.
⁴‘Fraud, Deception & Related offences 09’ reflects only those incidents reported directly to the Gardaí by members of the public. This is due to the effect of the backlog in processing suspected fraud crime incidents reported to the Gardaí by Financial Institutions under Section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2011. Please see information note at the beginning of this chapter.
⁵Due to a change how An Garda Síochána record crime incidents of ‘0412 Driving/In Charge of a Vehicle While Over Legal Alcohol Limit' and ‘0413 Driving/In Charge of a Vehicle Under the Influence of Drugs' from Q1 2025 onwards, it is not currently possible to publish them separately. As a result, these two categories are published under the combined category of ‘0412_13 Driving/In Charge of a Vehicle while Intoxicated – Alcohol and/or Drugs'.
..'Sexual offence Involving Mentally Impaired Person 0213' - due to low numbers, the number of incidents in this category are included in 'Other Sexual offences 022' from Q2 2023 and so year to year volumes and changes are not comparable to previous periods from this date.
