‘If only I could ban high heels...’

Mr Justice Michael Hanna was speaking during a case in which a woman sued Dublin City Council after breaking her ankle in a fall she claimed was caused by a broken pavement outside a nightclub. The council denied liability.
Alison Boylan, aged 35, a mother of five from Saggart Lakes, Saggart, Co Dublin, had been wearing high-heeled shoes she bought the day of her accident which were shown to the judge.
