The figures come at a time when there is much disquiet locally at reduced opening hours at Boyle Garda Station which covers many of the areas detailed above.
The changes in Boyle came into effect in April 2015 raising fears that a reduction in hours would result in a rise in crime in the area covered by Boyle Gardai.
The public have also voiced concern at the use of members and resources of An Garda Siochana from Boyle to cover the Castlerea area which is now the District HQ.
The national figure for burglaries showed a decrease on the 2014 figure.
