Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 September 2021
101. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the number, type, that is, fatal, serious, and minor and location of collisions recorded on each national road and motorway in each of the years 2015 to 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41943/21]
View answerMy Department cannot provide all the details required. Details on collisions are recorded and provided by An Garda Síochána which falls under the remit of the Department of Justice.
While the Road Safety Authority does publish some statistics detailing the number, type and location of collisions, this is only following verification of the incident which can, in some cases, be a considerable time after the actual event has taken place. This is because inquests, coroner's reports and court cases can take a number of years to be settled.
However, some of the information is currently being compiled by Transport Infrastructure Ireland which I will forward to to the Deputy.
