Vol. 479 No. 3
43 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for the Environment the plans, if any, he has to increase co-operation between the Department of Justice and his Department in order to speed up the compilation of road accident and road fatality figures. [12897/97]
Road Accident Facts, published annually by the National Roads Authority, is based on detailed analysis of Garda accident reports. While I am satisfied that there is a high level of co-operation between the two organisations in the compilation of data relating to accidents each year, I am asking the authority to consider what action might be taken to speed up the analysis of the data and the publication of the annual report.
