A Clare woman left permanently disabled with severe back and other injuries after slipping on grapes while shopping in a Tesco store has had her €1.43m damages award reduced to €1.25m.

AFTER spending more than €13 million on the 410-acre estate they bought in 2003, the owners of Sligo’s Lissadell House yesterday looked set to appeal a High Court decision that public rights of way exist across the historic grounds.

The family of a woman who died from cancer who claimed that she was wrongly diagnosed at two hospitals in the Midlands as suffering from depression have settled their High Court action against the HSE for €65,000.
