I have requested a report on the information sought by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána, unfortunately the report was not to hand in time. I will write to the Deputy on receipt of the report.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question Number 802 which was for answer on 28 April 2021, where you requested the number of reported collisions and traffic incidents occurring at or 100 metres before or after Knockmaroon Hill, Chapelizod, Dublin 20 in each of the years 2015 to 2020 and to date in 2021. You will recall that the information could not be obtained in the time available and my Department undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and contact you again when the information was available.
As you will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including the enforcement of road traffic legislation. As Minister for Justice, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that all fatal, serious and non-serious injury collisions in the area surrounding Knockmarron Hill, Chapelizod from 2015 to 2021 were examined. The Garda authorities have noted a total of 40 collisions, comprising 17 fatal or serious injury collisions and 23 non-serious injury collisions.
I am informed that these figures are based on collisions which occurred from 1 January 2015 to 13 May 2021. All information contained in this report is based upon operational data from the Pulse system as was available on 14 May 2021 and is liable to change.
I am further advised by the Garda authorities that due to the nature of the data, providing a further breakdown of the information would have required a disproportionate allocation of Garda time and resources.
I trust this information is of assistance.
