"All KSI casualties in each District Council had a majority male proportion of approximately two thirds. Belfast was highest with 69% perhaps due to having by far the most motorcyclists and pedal cyclists killed or seriously injured.
"Derry & Strabane had the lowest male proportion with 62%," a new gender analysis of casualties published by the Department of Infrastructure (DfI) has shown.
