The information provided in the records is limited to information collected at the scene of a collision and does not encompass definitive results where a forensic collision investigation took place. This information is used to populate the annual road collision factbooks and reports. Collision data is considered highly sensitive personal data by the RSA. It is received by the RSA from An Garda Síochána for a very specific purpose which is to support the RSA Research Department to carry out statutory function in collating national road collision statistics.
