Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue)

Information on all road traffic accidents reported to the Garda authorities is supplied by the Garda to the National Roads Authority who publish a detailed annual report on road accidents.

The information sought by the Deputy in regard to the cost of the emergency services is not available in my Department or to the Garda Síochána.
