Woman was bitten on face and neck by rat on holiday

A DUBLIN woman was bitten on her face and neck by a large rat – as she slept in a Tunisian holiday hotel.

The first that Fidelma Allen knew she was not alone in her bed was when her daughter, Sarah, screamed when she saw the rat on her mum’s bed.

Yesterday Ms Allen, of Knocknashee, Goatstown, Dublin, settled her €38,000 damages claim for an undisclosed sum against Budget Travel and Sunway Travel.
