There were over 9,800 recorded burglaries in Ireland during 2024 (CSO Statistics). On average one in every four of these incidents occurred while the home was occupied. These silent break-ins are the most dangerous type of all incidents for occupants and it is of importance that many more incidents of burglary go un-recorded.
We are aware of the debilitating effects resulting from trauma experienced by many surprised by a burglar in their own home. Many record these experiences as the most terrorising incidents occurring in their lives. Conservative estimates indicate that annually over 10,000 Irish residents are affected directly or indirectly by such incidents.
Protecting loved ones while occupying the home is the single most important Home Security issue.
Alarm systems are deterrents but may not stop a burglar from entering the building. However, when combining alarms with stronger doors/windows and appropriate security devices, a powerful defense is created by reinforcing the vulnerable entry points and this enables us to relax a little more.
