I propose to take Questions Nos. 267 and 268 together.
Rickshaws are essentially bicycles and I am informed by the Garda authorities that incidents involving rickshaws are currently recorded on the Garda PULSE system under the vehicle type 'bicycle'. As such, to collate the specific information requested by the Deputy would require An Garda Síochána to manually review all incidents under the vehicle type 'bicycle' in order to identify those incidents involving rickshaws, which would involve a disproportionate use of Garda time and resources.
