A nine -year-old girl, who cut her forehead when she fell in a Dublin creche, has been awarded €40,000 damages in the Circuit Civil Court.

Barrister Susan Lennox told the court that Blathnaid Morrison was almost two years old when the accident happened in November 2008 at Dublin West Childcare & Learning Services, Bawnogue Enterprise Centre, Bawnogue Rd, Clondalkin.

Ms Lennox said Blathnaid had been playing when she fell and hit the ground, lacerating her forehead.
