Child Awarded 25,000 Euro For Foot Injury At Swimming Pool

Hollie McNevin from Walkinstown Park, Dublin, has had a settlement of €25,000 approved by Judge Joseph Mathews of the Circuit Civil Court for a swimming pool injury.  At the age of nine years, McNevin slipped in the shower in the changing rooms of Templeogue College pool.  McNevin claimed that she hurt her foot on a broken plastic drain and therefore Templeogue College was responsible. The result was eight stitches and a parmanent scar on her foot.
