Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
233. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Road Safety Authority has not published any data on road traffic collisions since 2016; if his Department has a role in requesting that such information is published; and, if so, when up-to-date data will be made available. [42987/22]
View answerI am advised that in light of GDPR requirements, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is currently reviewing their road traffic collision (RTC) data sharing policies and procedures.
As a result, individual record-level data cannot be shared until this review is concluded over the coming months, following which the RSA expect to implement revised policies and procedures to permit GDPR compliant access to relevant RTC data.
In the meantime, for information I understand that the RSA has published provisional aggregated data (for the years 2017-2019), and reports (up to 2021) on their website. These can be accessed using the links below:
