Boy, 11, awarded €1 million after leg amputated

A BOY who had his left leg amputated below the knee when a wall crashed down on top of him was yesterday awarded over €1 million.

Seán Bresnihan, aged 7 at the time, was standing beside a wall at Rockhill Cross, Charleville, Co Cork, with his child minder when a two-car collision resulted in damage to the wall on September 13, 2007.

Now 11, he was at the High Court in Cork with his mother, Triona, of Gortroe, Castletown, Kilmallock, Co Limerick.
