An eight-year-old boy who was injured when a flicker scooter he was riding hit a piece of timber left protruding from the garden wall of a house has settled a High Court action for €50,000.
Liam David Hanson (now 13) was travelling on the footpath along Westbrook Heights in Balbriggan, Co Dublin, on July 14, 2016, when he hit what was believed to be a kitchen worktop left by workman on a garden wall and protruding onto the footpath.
Through his mother, Deborah Manning, of Moylaragh Crescent, Balbriggan, he sued Jamie Tiernan and Helen McCusker, both of Westbrook Heights, kitchen installers Tierney Kitchens Retail, of Stephenstown Business Park, Balbriggan, the East Coast Kitchen Factory and Ion Tomoiaga, both of KCR Business Estate, Kimmage, Co Dublin.
