Judge accepts increased €40k offer for creche injury

A judge, who last November rejected a €20,000 settlement offer to a three-year-old boy who lost the top of a finger in a “traumatic incident” involving a creche door, yesterday accepted an increased offer of €40,000.

Circuit Court president Mr Justice Raymond Groarke said he was happy the new offer would be sufficient to compensate Kyle Tighe Donoghue for the traumatic incident he suffered while attending Doras Bui Creche, Bunratty Drive, Coolock, Dublin.

Barrister Peter Maguire yesterday told the court that following talks between the parties, a previous offer of €20,000 had been doubled.
