I am informed by the Garda authorities that Table 1 sets out the number of learner drivers involved in fatal collisions in 2012 and 2013 and whether they were accompanied by a qualified driver. I am advised that the information requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of learner drivers involved in serious injury collisions during that period is not readily available and I will contact the Deputy directly when this information is to hand.
