How to read these figures
- These are offences recorded by An Garda Síochána, not every offence that took place: unreported burglaries do not appear. They are counted by quarter of recording.
- “Burglary and related offences” covers ordinary burglary, aggravated burglary and possession of an article with intent to burgle or steal. It applies to homes, shops and every other kind of building.
- The divisions are those of the new Garda Operating Model, completed in May 2025, and the CSO publishes them from 2025. That is why the change compares January to June 2026 with the same months of 2025 rather than two full years.
- The CSO warns that the data may be revised (extracted 1 September 2026). The 2025 total is the sum of the four published quarters. The trend chart and the national total come from the annual table CJA01: 8,466 offences in 2025, against 8,151 in the sum of the divisions. The CSO does not explain the gap in the table, and the missing offences cannot be assigned to a division.
- There are no rates per person: the CSO does not publish population figures for the new divisions, which differ a lot in size. Raw counts therefore do not show where the risk is higher. D.M.R. marks the 6 divisions of the Dublin Metropolitan Region.
