Woman ‘was dropped on head’ in nightclub

A woman has claimed in the High Court that she suffered injuries after she was picked up and dropped on the head by a man she did not know, following unwanted pestering from him in a nightclub.

Tasha Fitzsimons, aged 27, says she suffered head and arm injuries when the man dropped her on the floor of Barcode Nightclub, Clontarf, Dublin, on December 22, 2008.

Ms Fitzsimons, of Glentworth Park, Ard na Greine, Malahide Rd, Dublin, is suing Templeville Developments, trading as Barcode, which denies claims it was negligent, including by allowing a drunk man into the club and continuing to serve him alcohol.
