Woman claimed bouncer broke her nose in row

A 35-year-old woman who told a court her nose was broken when a nightclub bouncer punched her in the face has had her damages claim thrown out by a judge.

Judge Jacqueline Linnane dismissed the €38,000 personal injury claims of Susan Reilly, of Inver Rd, Cabra West, Dublin; her former boyfriend Darren Dowling, aged 32, also of Cabra West; and Martin Maguire, aged 39, of Ferndale Avenue, Finglas, Dublin.

They had sued Templeville Developments Limited, trading as Barcode Nightclub in Fairview, Dublin, and alleged that after having been refused entry they had been set upon by five or six bouncers and been punched and kicked.
