Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications

As the compilation of road safety statistics is the responsibility of the Road Safety Authority I have referred this Question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
