317. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on the Road Safety Authority's review of road traffic collision data-sharing policies and procedures in light of GDPR requirements. [17620/23]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

As the Deputy is likely aware, road traffic collision data are compiled by An Garda Síochána and then exchanged with other road safety stakeholder agencies. My Department, the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána are currently engaged in a process to review the legislative basis for this data sharing and to update this if required. This is being done in consultation where appropriate with the Data Protection Commissioner. This review is ongoing and I hope to be in a position to update the Deputy on the outcome in the near future.
