‘Minted’ after fall, banter claimed

A young man suing McDonald’s for an injury in a fall was cross-examined about banter on his Facebook page to the effect that he would be ‘minted’ after the case.

Jonathan Dineen, of 28 Fairview, South Douglas Road, Cork, brought a case to the High Court sitting in Cork yesterday.

He testified he had approximately six pints of beer on St Stephen’s night 2010 and at around 3.30am on December 27 he slipped on a wet floor in McDonald’s, Winthrop St, and broke his arm.
