Student gets €2.45m compo after car crash
Conor Barry, aged 26, from Grange, Castlemartyr, Co Cork, was a back-seat passenger in a car that crashed at a bridge near Midleton on June 17, 1998. He has been left with such serious communication difficulties that he relies on printed cards to communicate.
Dr John O’Mahony SC said the family was extremely supportive of Conor since the accident, which happened when he was in the second year of his studies to be an electrician.
