NCT won’t release report on car in fatal road crash

A grieving mother, whose daughter was killed while driving a defective car, has been denied access to an NCT report which could shed new light on what caused the crash.

Applus Car Testing Service, the firm which oversees the State’s National Car Testing System has refused to release the test sheet result, citing data protection legislation.

Paula Murphy, from Farranree in Cork, who is convinced her daughter was driving a “deathtrap”, has pleaded with the firm to release the report on compassionate grounds.
