Mother-of-three blinded in one eye by egg thrown from car seeks damages

A mother of three who was left blind in one eye after she was “egged” from a passing car has brought an action for damages in the High Court against the driver.

Ann Doody had to have her left eyeball removed two years after an egg was thrown at her by a passenger in a passing car as she walked with friends near her home, the High Court heard.

The 46-year-old Dublin nurse and midwife told Mr Justice Kevin Cross she wishes it never happened.
