Man to appeal €4.7m damages to sex abuse victims
Last November, retired company director Joseph Carrick was ordered to pay €4m to Jacqueline O’Toole and €700,000 to her cousin Geraldine Nolan after two separate High Court juries found he had raped them when they were children.
Carrick, aged 72, of Carysfort Woods, Blackrock, Dublin, will be looking for a priority hearing before the Supreme Court. He was not represented during the High Court cases, claiming he was unable to pay for solicitors.
