I propose to take Questions Nos. 33 and 34 together.

As one of its functions, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) gathers data and conducts research to inform policy in the area of road safety. As such, the RSA holds statistics on fatalities on our road network.I have therefore referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for a more detailed, direct reply on the specific issues raised. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
Question No. 34 answered with Question No. 33.
