Olympics hopeful gets €142k after fracture ‘missed’
Mr Justice Michael Peart in the High Court yesterday said it was a tragedy that Amy Rose McGowan did not get to the Special Olympics and a pity her running career had been cut short.
Ms McGowan, the court heard, had been training and hoping to compete in the next Special Olympics in Athens when she fell and hurt her knee during a 50 metre sprint race in May 2009.
