Woman, 84, takes action over Connolly Station fall

A 82-year-old woman who fell on an escalator at Connolly Station, Dublin, when she got on it because the lift was out of order has brought a High Court action for damages.

Christina Flood, the High Court heard was being pushed in a wheelchair by her son and was on the way back from a trip to Howth when she fell at Connolly Station after her son helped her on the escalator.

The woman’s son, Paul Flood denied in court yesterday that as his mother — who suffered rib fractures and a collapsed lung — was waiting for an ambulance he was talking about personal injury solicitors.
