I am informed by the Garda authorities that An Garda Síochána is not aware of any specific Garda unit established in 2009 to examine and report on the cause of road fatalities. However, as the Deputy may be aware, Garda Forensic Collision Investigators attend the scene of every fatal collision, and every collision where information indicates that there is a likelihood of a fatality resulting from that collision, and their analysis forms part of the Garda investigation into that collision.
