‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Hit and Run Accidents. Compensation for vehicle loss
Summary
Enright asks whether owners whose vehicles are written off in accidents can be compensated. Connolly says the current scheme does not provide this, but the matter is under consideration.
In view of the very large number of people who are owners of motor vehicles and whose cars are written off in accidents would the Minister of State make some arrangement to have discussions with the Motor Insurance Bureau and with the working party to ensure that where a person incurs the loss of a vehicle he also is compensated?
Comment on this
Under the terms of the scheme now that does not operate in regard to the loss of a vehicle, but all that is being looked at. I do not want to preempt the outcome of that.
