Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Cycling Policy: Discussion

Ms Louise Williams:

Just yesterday I got a call from a woman who said that she had just been knocked off her bike and asked what should she do. She was uncertain as to whether she should go to the Garda to report it. As far as I am aware the Road Safety Authority will be tracking injuries that have been reported to the Garda. We would see this as an opportunity to measure the impact of injuries reported to hospitals which could be documented and tracked. It would be an opportunity to use financial analysis as a tool to consider the impact on health.
