I propose to take Questions Nos. 159 and 160 together.

While my Department is responsible for the drafting of road traffic legislation, it has no role in enforcement or in the recording of enforcement statistics. As my Department does not hold the information sought by the Deputy, I would suggest that he bring his request to the direct attention of An Garda Síochána.

161. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of the exploration of the potential of an online portal for road users to upload footage of road traffic offences as published in the Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 on 14 December 2021 (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

This is an Action under the Road Safety Strategy for which An Garda Síochána is the lead organisation.  I understand that it ties into wider issues relating to evidence submitted to the Gardaí by the public.  While I am aware that the Gardaí are working on this, as it is connected to wider Garda issues this is a matter coming within the remit of the Garda Commissioner.
