PQ 5
5 Ms Clune asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason a car involved in a fatal road accident was scrapped by gardaí before the driver (details supplied) who was charged with dangerous driving causing the death of a person (details supplied) at Lehenaghmore, Togher, County Cork, on 3 May 1999, could have it examined for alleged defects; the action which has been taken to ensure no prosecution is prohibited in the future as a consequence of the gardaí so acting; the further reason the family of the deceased were not kept informed regarding the progress of the court proceedings which resulted in the High Court prohibiting the prosecution of the driver; and his views on whether it is acceptable that they first learned of the outcome of the High Court case from newspaper reports.
