Is there a mechanism being looked at whereby we can protect certain personal information related to those latest incidents and accidents but can still provide the information to members of the public to say that an incident occurred here that resulted in a fatality? I would expand that by saying that an incident recorded here was reported to An Garda Síochána and it was a near-miss strike, a minor or major injury or a hospitalisation. We need to build up a pattern if we are to deal with the situation. People need to realise how many of these near misses are happening out there. It is happening regularly, and it is not getting reported.
