Statistics relating to road accidents, based on information provided by the Garda Síochána, are published by the National Roads Authority (NRA) in their annual Road Accident Facts reports. The most recent report, now entitled Road Collision Facts, relates to 2004. That report along with reports relating to previous years are available in the Oireachtas Library and on the NRA website.

The reports contain a detailed analysis of the collisions which occurred during a particular year, but do not contain details of the licence status of drivers involved in collisions.

Responsibility for the collection of structured information on road safety, including the publication of the annual Road Collision Facts Report, now lies with the newly established Road Safety Authority. I understand that the statistics relating to 2005 are currently being analysed and authenticated in preparation for publication.
