2021
14 cases recorded for 2021. Tracking began 11 Jul 1987. These figures track what outlets report and name, not recorded crime.
Who the suspects were
cases by suspect origin- Irish 9
- Non-Irish 0
- Both in one case 0
- Not known 5
Origin is known for 9 of 14 cases (64%). It comes from a stated nationality or, failing that, a judgement from the name.
Cases per 100,000 residents
| Group | Cases | Residents | Per 100k | 95% interval00.7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Irish citizens | 9 | 4,283,490 | 0.2 | |
| Non-Irish | 0 | 631,785 | 0.0 |
Rates are cases per 100,000 residents of that group (Census 2022 citizenship), not offenders and not convictions. Cases with unknown origin are left out of both, so both are lower bounds, and the ratio between them only means something if outlets report origin equally for both groups. The bar shows where the true rate likely falls given so few cases.

- Stated in an article
- Guessed by the model from the suspect's name
A guess is the model's best reading of a name when no article gives a nationality. Names are a poor guide to citizenship, so treat the guessed counts as rough. Where a rate is a range, the lower figure counts stated nationalities only and the higher one adds the guesses.
