Mr. John Twomey:

Yes. All accidents are recorded on what we call a form CT68. Every accident has a CT68. The data is shared with both the Road Safety Authority and the NRA. They have the information. We also have national and local meetings with both of those organisations. We visit every fatal accident site with the local authority.

Deputy O’Donovan is correct that the three areas that relate to road safety are known as the three Es - enforcement, engineering and education. We work very closely with local authorities. They have the same data we have on accidents; time of day and location on the road. There have been lots of stretches of roadway that have been re-engineered based on the accident data. There is a close working relationship between ourselves, the NRA, local authorities and the RSA – all of the agencies involved in road safety. I will ask Superintendent O’Donohue to respond to the final point.
