I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question 709 of 20 June 2017 in which the information provided included the number of fatal collisions, the number of persons not tested for alcohol and the reasons therefor for the years 2015, 2016 and to 31 May 2017. I have replicated the tables hereunder for ease of reference.
I have requested updated statistics for 2017 and will contact the Deputy directly once they are to hand.
