Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 April 2024
141. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 25 of 28 February 2024, why GDPR was not given as a reason for data withholding, if it was known at the time of answer that GDPR was an issue; if so, from what date; and the reason it was not referenced. [17078/24]
View answerThe previous Question to which the Deputy refers requested information regarding numbers of road traffic incidents at certain locations. My Department does not hold data on the specific locations referenced and is therefore not withholding the information requested, for GDPR reasons or otherwise.
Responsibility for investigating road traffic incidents rests with the An Garda Síochána, which collects collision data at the roadside. To obtain collision information at the specific junctions requested, the Deputy should make contact with An Garda Síochána.
