Transport committee demands road fatality data

It is “hugely important” that both the gardaí and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) provide clarity on official road fatality statistics to the Oireachtas Transport Committee, its chairman, Fergus O’Dowd, has said.

Mr O’Dowd said there was planned legislation on road safety currently before the Dáil but it was proving controversial.

He wanted all of the facts to be available as soon as possible in the interests of everybody’s safety on the roads.
