Woman claims fumes from car caused ill health

Helen Noble, a solicitor and mother-of-two, claims she suffered for about a year and a half and underwent medical treatment, including procedures resulting in her being unable to have more children, before the alleged carbon monoxide poisoning was detected. The car was bought new in 2008 for about €45,000 under a hire purchase agreement.

Ms Noble, aged 40, of Killballyowem, Aughrim, Co Wicklow, has sued Motor Import Ltd (MIL), trading as Frank Keane (Naas Road), BMW, with registered offices at Munich, Germany, and Permanent TSB. The defendants deny any liability.
