Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
95. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Transport if he will report on progress to ensure that the RSA is not prohibited from releasing information on road traffic accidents by GDPR; if he has sought the rationale for ceasing to release such information due to the regulation; and, if so, if he is satisfied that the rationale is reasonable. [5686/24]
View answerAs I indicated in the House on 23 January last, the matter of the sharing of collision data is being addressed by a specialist group chaired by the Road Safety Authority. This group reports to the Road Safety Transformation Partnership Board, the senior officials' group established to ensure delivery of the Government's Road Safety Strategy. The RSA and other stakeholders are in ongoing discussions with the Data Protection Commission about the issue.
This work is progressing and it is currently expected that an agreement on sharing of collision data can be concluded later in 2024.
