Close to 800 assaults were investigated by Gardaí in the Shannonside Northern Sound region in the first 6 months of the year.
The data comes after the Central Statistics Office yesterday lifted a warning on the reliability of crime figures from the Gardaí that had been in place since 2018.
CSO crime figures had been 'under reservation' due to concerns with the PULSE system, with that deisignation lifted following a review.
According to Pulse, the Garda computer system, 790 reports of assault were investigated by Gardaí in Longford, Roscommon, Leitrim, Cavan and Monaghan.
