My Department has no information regarding the number of cyclists injured in the circumstances described.  The collection and analysis of road traffic collision data is a matter for An Garda Síochána and my colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality.

The matter of cyclists requiring medical attention is a matter for the Health Service Executive and the Department of Health. I have no role in the matter.
