That’s according to the latest statistics from Gardaí which were presented at a meeting of the County Joint Policing Committee.
The reduction in public order offences has contributed to a decrease in assaults, which are down by almost a quarter.
However, Senator Trevor O’ Clochartaigh raised concern that incidents of domestic violence in the county are up by 8 percent.
