asked the Minister for Justice if he will state the number of road accidents in Dublin City and County reported to the Garda Síochána so far during the present year, distinguishing between those in which (a) motor vehicles, (b) motor cycles of all kinds and (c) pedal cycles were involved, and also indicating, in cases where children were involved, the number (i) killed and (ii) injured.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

The following is the statement:—

RETURN OF ROAD ACCIDENTS FOR DUBLIN CITY AND DUBLIN COUNTY (AND NUMBER OF CHILDREN KILLED AND INJURED) FOR PERIOD 1ST JANUARY, 1954, TO 31ST OCTOBER, 1954.
