The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (03 March 2025) issued an Information Note on Fraud Crime Statistics to accompany the Recorded Crime Q3 2024 release.
The Recorded Crime Q3 2024 release was due to be published in December 2024 but was postponed to allow the CSO engage with An Garda Síochána (AGS) regarding a reported backlog in the recording of potential fraud related crime incidents reported by financial Institutions under Section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2011 on the PULSE system.
Users should be aware that as a result, the Fraud, Deception & Related offences crime series pre and post Q3 2023 are no longer comparable, and this release, Recorded Crime Q3 2024, contains a revised Fraud, Deception and Related Offences series from Q3 2023 onwards based only on fraud crime incidents reported directly to AGS by members of the public. Please see our accompanying Information Note for more details.
