€185k for family of man who died outside pub

An award of €185,000 was made yesterday to the family of a man who died moments after being ejected from a pub in Cork City.

There was no admission of liability in the case before the High Court sitting in Cork yesterday and the hearing was only for the purpose of approving a settlement offer from the defendants to the plaintiff.

Anthony Hennessy died on Mar 14, 2008, after being put out of the Mo Chuísle pub at 40 Blarney St, Cork City.
