Question:

31. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for Transport with regard to the increasing and concerning number of road traffic accidents and fatalities on Irish roads, his views on the percentage of those accidents which involved left-hand-drive vehicles; if left-hand-drive vehicles and drivers more accustomed to driving on the right side of the road is, or could be, a factor in such accidents; if he will consider improved or increased road signage to increase awareness; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Among its responsibilities, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) gathers road safety data and conducts research on road safety issues to inform the development of policy. I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct reply on the specific issue raised. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.

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