Bernard J. Durkan
Ceist:301 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if, arising from investigations into the causes of road accidents by way of subsequent reports emanating from the insurance industry or the emergency services, any research has been done into the possible cause or causes of cars igniting on impact with consequent loss of life; if there is a propensity for particular makes or models of cars to ignite on impact more readily than others; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
