The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. Comprehensive statistics on Road Passenger kilometres can only be obtained by means of a detailed survey of road users. A report prepared by the National Statistics Board on Policy Needs for Statistical Data on Enterprises has recommended that a National Transport Survey, collecting this type of information, should be carried out. No decision has yet been made on this proposal. This would be a very large-scale survey and the CSO is currently examining technical and budgetary requirements for implementing this new survey.
