Burns Nowlan Solicitors have been at the forefront of the recent campaign to advise owners of cars affected by the Volkswagen emissions scandal of their statutory rights and entitlements.
A survey conducted among those interviewed by Burns Nowlan has found that the issues of most concern to owners of cars affected in Ireland are;

Owners have paid for repairs to certain car parts which are now found to be associated with emissions.
The lack of response from Volkswagen and the sheer inadequacy of the letter received from Volkswagen Group Ireland Limited – particularly as no contact details were included in the letter.
