Irish owners taking action against Volkswagen emissions scandal

More than 800 motorists have now contacted an Irish solicitor’s firm representing claimants over the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

The Irish Examiner understands O’Dwyer Solicitors in Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo has been contacted by over 800 motorists and the firm expects more in the future. The firm declined to comment.

The firm was granted a court order for discovery by Judge Mary Devins in Castlebar District Court in June last year, becoming the first in Europe to have a case relating to the global Volkswagen emissions scandal heard in court.
