The Burglary rate was 4.0% according to the International Victimization Survey for 2003. The Urban areas had a burglary rate of 4% and the rural areas 3% according to the Crime and Victimization Household Survey. The International Victimization Survey might have sampled urban areas. The Crime and Victimization Household Survey was 3%. Ireland is a mainly rural country.

The International Victimization Survey was conducted only for 2003.

Somebody is at home 48% of the time during a burglary in Ireland compared to 27% in the United States.

Somebody is at home 48% of the time during a burglary in Ireland compared to 27% in the United States.

that's because in Ireland the homeowner can't own a gun to shoot the criminal breaking into their home.
