Claims for injuries by untraced drivers
Enright asks that injured people unable to identify a driver or owner be guaranteed a right to claim; Connolly says the issue is before the working party. He confirms hit-and-run compensation is within its remit.
Would the Minister of State ensure that the attention of the working party he referred to is drawn to the need to make some definite precise arrangements to ensure that, where a person is injured and that person is unaware of either the name and address of the owner or the driver of the car involved, that person as of right can bring a claim? Will the Minister of State ensure that that person is left with some compensation for the injuries he has received?

Could the Minister of State inform the House if the compensation for victims of hit and run accidents is within the terms of reference of the working party?
