Minister for Justice and Equality

I can inform the Deputy that there have been 153 fatal road collisions to date in 2014, resulting tragically in the loss of 166 lives. I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the further details requested by the Deputy. I will contact the Deputy directly as soon as the report is to hand.
