Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2011
528 Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of persons killed in fatal accidents on motorways in each of the past three years; the percentage of national fatalities that take place on motorways; the percentage of national traffic carried on motorways; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28239/11]
View answerUnder the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority has responsibility for the collection and compilation of statistics on road accident fatalities. I have referred the Deputy's question to the Road Safety Authority for direct reply. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
