Answer

My Department does not maintain its claim records by town, but by DfI Roads Section Office which broadly mirror council areas. Moira is therefore covered by the Lisburn and Castlereagh Office. Table 1 below details the number of personal injury public liability claims in each of the last full financial years, where the accident has been specifically recorded on my Department’s Claims Management System as having occurred on a footway in the Lisburn and Castlereagh office area.
