The latest figures available from the Department of Justice (DoJ) were obtained by BBC Radio Foyle.

On Monday, a victim of child sexual abuse said that her five-year wait for her abuser to appear in court made her feel silenced by the justice system.
The latest figures show that almost 2,000 cases involving sexual offences were making their way through the criminal justice system as of May this year.
More than 180 of them had still not come to court three years after they had become active, while 73 people waited for their case to be heard in court after five years.
The department said that almost 85% of cases, where the main offence is a sexual offence, have been recorded in the system for less than three years.
They added that just under 94% of those cases had been in the system for less than five years.
