I propose to take Questions Nos. 670, 671 and 672 together.
Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, 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 role in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for direct response on any additional relevant information it may hold. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
I would also direct the Deputy to the RSA's website, specifically the Road traffic collision data section which can be accessed at - www.rsa.ie/road-safety/statistics/road-traffic-collision-data This section of the RSA website contains a number of relevant reports published by the RSA including in relation to fatalities so far in 2026 and for 2025. In addition, the RSA website also contains research on the various killer behaviours and contributing factors of fatalities and serious injuries on our roads. This information can be accessed here: ww.rsa.ie/road-safety/research/reports/safe-road-use
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
