You will appreciate that I, as Minister for Justice and Equality, have no role in relation to the collation of road traffic collision data, which is the responsibility of An Garda Síochána. However, to be of assistance, I have asked An Garda Síochána for a report on the matter.

An Garda Síochána has provided the following table, which shows the number of road traffic collisions in the Kerry Division, where the collision 'location type' was a roundabout. The data covers the period from January 2016 to December 2018 and is broken down into annual statistics, as follows:

I am further advised by An Garda Síochána that the data is not recorded in such a way as to easily differentiate the geographic location of each roundabout comprehended by these statistics. To do so would involve significant research, which would not be justified due to the disproportionate amount of Garda time required.
