Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 July 2018
210. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of prosecutions on an annual basis for cyclists failing to stop at traffic lights; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31684/18]
View answerThe Deputy will appreciate that decisions about whether or not a person is prosecuted, and for what crime, is solely a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and I have no role in this regard.
However, to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have requested a report from An Garda Síochána in relation to the statistics sought by the Deputy, insofar as they are available, and I will be in contact with the Deputy directly on receipt of this report.
