As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), for the management and administration of Garda business, including all operational policing matters related to road traffic enforcement.

To assist the Deputy, I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the number of persons arrested and charged with the offence of ‘Dangerous Driving’, ‘Dangerous Driving Causing Death’ or ‘Dangerous Driving Causing Serious Harm’.

Note that the figures are based on operational data originating in the Tipperary Garda division recorded on PULSE for each of the years 2021, 2022, and up to 8 February 2023.

* I have been advised by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide a statistical breakdown for 2023 as the low number may present a data protection concern.
