Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Relating to Road Safety: Road Safety Authority
Mr. Sam Waide:
I thank the Deputy for the question. To reiterate on the public record, the RSA has been sharing data. We have been sharing key variables which helps decisions to be made. On the specific question on the gap and what we need to do to legislate - we will need to legislate, and I know the Taoiseach and the Ministers support this - we need to ensure the data is being shared in a legal way so that it does not infringe on any GDPR matters. People might not appreciate there is quite sensitive information around collision data, in particular. In the coming weeks, we will make that submission to the DPC with the Department of Transport. I will pass over Ms Kelly who has been leading that work on behalf of a multi-subject matter group from all the agencies.
