Written Answers. - Crashed Vehicle Register.

Peadar Clohessy

Question:

55 Mr. Clohessy asked the Minister for the Environment his views on whether the establishment of a central register listing crashed vehicles would enhance consumer protection; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1532/97]

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Howlin)

I have no proposals to introduce a register of this kind. However, the possibility of noting writtenoff etc. vehicles on the computerised national vehicle file will be kept under review as developments of the file proceeds.
