292. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Transport the number of recorded accidents on the N68 (Ennis to Kilrush), the N67 (Kilrush to Kilkee), and the R483 (Cooraclare to Cree village, joining the N67 northbound) for each of the past five years, broken down by year and severity (fatal, serious injury, minor injury); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answer293. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Transport to provide comparative accident statistics for the R483, given its role as a main tourist route, for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [71924/25]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 292 and 293 together.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has a statutory remit to report on fatal, serious and minor injury collisions on public roads. The RSA receives collision data from An Garda Síochána for this purpose and produces official statistics to help develop evidence-based road safety interventions.
Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for direct, detailed reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
