Ruling due on teen who lost finger on fence

Judgment will be given today in a case taken by a teenager who had one of his fingers partially cut off while climbing over a fence around a sports ground.

Cork County Council urged the judge to dismiss the action, while the plaintiff’s lawyers claimed the fence was a danger and the cause of the accident.

Mateusz Kacper Kaczynski, of Tannery Gardens, off Redemption Rd, Cork, brought the action against Cork County Council.
