Girl, 4, wins €15,000 after breaking wrists on slide

A four-year-old girl who broke her left wrist after falling from a slide in a Dublin crèche has been awarded €15,000 damages in the Circuit Civil Court.

Barrister Pat Purcell told the court that, in July 2012, Lilly Cullen had been attending Cobblestone Cottage Crèche & Montessori, at Newtown Cottages, Malahide Rd, when she fell heavily from the slide.

Mr Purcell said CCTV footage of the incident showed that Lilly, who was almost two years old at the time, had fallen several times that day. Counsel said Lilly could be seen holding her wrist.
