Amharc ar fhreagraFor clarity, in Parliamentary Questions Nos. 88 of 24 May 2017, 726 of 20 June 2017 and 529 of 26 July 2017, you sought:
“….the number of road traffic collisions involving drivers in the emergency services namely Gardaí, ambulance drivers, those working for the various fire brigades and ministerial drivers there have been in each of the years to 2011 to 2016; the number of these road traffic collisions that resulted in a fatality….”.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the information is not readily available and it is not possible, without a disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources, to provide the information requested.
The class of vehicle recorded on a road traffic collision incident on PULSE does not specify whether or not any of the vehicles recorded as being linked to that incident were emergency services vehicles.
