View answerThe Road Safety Authority Act 2006 provides that the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is the State agency with statutory responsibility for the compilation of data regarding the causes of collisions and other relevant information related to road safety. There are arrangements in place between An Garda Síochána and the RSA for the provision of information relating to road collisions held by An Garda Síochána to the RSA to assist it in carrying out its statutory responsibility in this regard. The RSA, which is under the aegis of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, publishes road collision statistics on an annual basis. These statistics are available on the Agency's website www.rsa.ie.
