I have received an updated report from the Garda authorities who have informed me there were a total of 30 fatal collisions from 2011 to 2013 involving drivers who held a learner permit. I am further informed that a total of 31 learner drivers were involved as in one collision both drivers were holders of learner permits. Tragically, a total of 34 people died arising from these collisions, including 16 learner drivers; five passengers in the learner driver's vehicle; eight occupants of other vehicles and five pedestrians.
