551. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will publish the updated CT(68) form due to be used by members of An Garda Síochána, following serious road traffic collisions, from 1 January 2014. [55341/13]
View answer552. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if it is intended that the CT(68) form used by members of An Garda Síochána following serious road traffic collisions will be updated periodically from now on in view of the experience of the PSNI in Northern Ireland, whereby the similar form used there is updated every two years. [55342/13]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 551 and 552 together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that form CT(68) is an internal collision report generated as a result of information contained on the Garda PULSE system and which serves An Garda Síochána for operational purposes and the Road Safety Authority for statistical purposes. I am further informed that An Garda Síochána does not intend publishing the updated form CT(68) which was released for operational use by the Garda authorities on 1 January, 2014, following the outcome of a Working Group's examination of this matter. I am also advised that the operation and administration of form CT(68) will be reviewed on an ongoing basis in consultation with the relevant stakeholders.
