Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion

Ms Velma Burns:

On a point of clarification, we do not have access to data on near misses at all. We receive information on incidents that have occurred. These are both serious and minor road traffic collisions. That is our remit. We do have, and maybe this is what the Deputy is alluding to, information on material damage collisions, which are also recorded on those. We receipt those. We do not do detailed analysis on those. Our remit is to look at collisions where an injury has occurred. As such, we do not have data on near misses.
