252. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of fatal accidents, serious injuries and minor injuries recorded at locations (details supplied) prior to May 2016 and from May 2016 to date in 2018, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by An Garda Síochána that the Garda website contains comprehensive statistics in relation to the road safety camera network, including information in relation to active, new and removed speed enforcement zones.
An Garda Síochána publishes safety camera statistics in the following format at https://www.garda.ie/en/Roads-Policing/Safety-Cameras/ (Select 'Location on the Map' option on this web page):
- Location number;
- Start and End Latitude coordinates;
- Start and End Longitude coordinates;
- Fatality statistics;
- Serious injury statistics;
- Minor injury statistics.
I welcome the publication of such data by An Garda Síochána to ensure that there is transparency in relation to the enforcement of road traffic legislation. I understand that statistics prior to 27 May 2016 are not published on the Garda website, however I will request a report from An Garda Síochána in relation to the statistics sought prior to this date and will contact the Deputy directly on receipt of the relevant Garda report.
