To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he has received the report he sought from the Garda authorities on 18 September 2012 with figures on the number of drivers involved in a fatal or serious road collision since January 2012 in which the drivers involved were not tested for their alcohol level either at the crash scene, in the Garda station or in the hospital and the reasons for not testing in all cases; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have sought clarification with respect to aspects of information which I have received from An Garda Síochána in relation to the matters referred to by the Deputy and, to be of assistance, have also sought an update in respect of the relevant information insofar as the full year of 2012 is concerned. I will be in contact with the Deputy again when the information sought is to hand. In the interim I can, however, assure the Deputy that my colleague the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and I have received assurances from the Garda Commissioner that every effort is being made to ensure that the relevant road traffic legislative provisions are fully complied with.
