asked the Minister for Justice the total number of court cases involving car insurance in 1983 and in 1984; and the percentage of such cases settled out of court.

98.

asked the Minister for Justice the number of court cases involving motor insurance awaiting decision by the courts.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 97 and 98 together.

I assume that the Deputy's questions relate to civil actions. When civil actions are entered there is no indication as to whether or not an insurance company is involved. Accordingly, the information sought cannot be compiled from court records.
