I assume that the Deputy is referring to the legislative basis for sharing road traffic collision data. As I recently advised the Deputy, these data are compiled by An Garda Síochána and then exchanged with other road safety stakeholder agencies. My Department, the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána are currently engaged in a process to review the legislative basis for this data sharing and to update this if required. This is being done in consultation, where appropriate, with the Data Protection Commissioner. This review is ongoing and I hope to be in a position to update the Deputy on the outcome in the coming weeks.
