Boy, 5, awarded €22,745 after fall at boxing club
Barrister Noel Cosgrove told the Circuit Civil Court that William Mongan was spinning unsupervised after having been lifted onto the rings by an assistant. He told Judge Jacqueline Linnane William fell head-first onto concrete and broke his nose.
He said William, who sued Whitechurch Boxing Club and the Irish Amateur Boxing Association for damages for personal injuries, would have to have surgery when he reached 18 to re-set his nose and for nasal deviation.
