Under an agreement dated 31 March 2004 between the Minister and the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland, the bureau continues its undertaking of liability to pay compensation to innocent victims of motor vehicle accidents involving uninsured drivers and untraced vehicles, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Such compensation covers personal injuries and injury to property in the case of accidents caused by uninsured drivers and personal injury in the case of accidents caused by unidentified vehicles.

Determination of eligibility for compensation in individual cases is a matter for the bureau. The agreement prescribes the conditions for notifying an accident to the bureau and indicates the procedures for making a claim against the bureau.

A copy of the agreement may be purchased from the Government Publications Sales Office, Sun Alliance House, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2, or by mail order from Government Publications, Postal Trade Section, 51 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, price €3. It may also be accessed on my Department's website, www.transport.ie.
