As the Road Safety Authority has responsibility for producing such statistics, I am forwarding this query to the Authority for direct response.
I would, however, point out that in general the RSA does not publish statistics until all of the data has been verified and incidents have been concluded. In relation to court cases, inquests, coroners' reports, etc., this may take a number of years. The RSA may therefore not be in a position to immediately provide completely up to date information.
If the Deputy has not received a response within 10 working days he should contact my office directly.
