€425k settlement over father’s death

A FATHER of four was killed on his way to work four years ago and yesterday at the High Court in Cork his family was awarded €425,000 in compensation.

Kathleen McAuliffe of Castlecourt, Demesne, Newmarket, Co Cork, who brought the action to the High Court in Cork, said: “No amount of money could bring James back.”
