I would like thank the Deputy for raising the serious issue of road safety. Last year's increase in the number of road traffic fatalities (186) following a historic low of 162 in 2015 highlights the need to continue to deploy all effective measures to reduce road traffic collisions. Road safety is, of course, a shared responsibility and it is incumbent upon us all to play our part.
The number of fatal road traffic collisions monthly for the period 2014 to date in 2017 are in the public domain and are available on the Garda website: .
I have requested a county-by-county breakdown from the Garda authorities and will be in contact with the Deputy directly on receipt of a Garda report.
