Defence Forces Personnel

Deputy O'Shea is correct that there is a considerable amount of movement by military vehicles on a daily basis through several parts of the country. There is a major number of opportunities in terms of exposure to the road. I do not have a breakdown in respect of the seriousness of accidents. The number of fatalities is thankfully small, but any fatality is one too many. By serious accidents, I presume Deputy O'Shea means accidents where people have permanent incapacity of a major nature. I do not have the detail on that but I will try to find it for the Deputies. It may be difficult and may take some time but it is interesting information and may feed into what one can learn from this.
