Mr. Keith Walsh:

I am not sure exactly when data sharing stopped. Collision data is collected by An Garda Síochána. The database is assembled and is then shared with agencies that have a legislative basis to receive it. A concern was raised about the RSA's legislative basis to receive the data which was resolved by way of a ministerial order last year. The RSA receives that information from the Garda. In the past, the RSA shared the information with local authorities. At a certain point, the local authorities got legal advice or the position from its data protection experts was that them receiving the data and analysis was in contravention of GDPR.
