Former Dunnes worker gets €15k over trolley injury

A Dunnes Stores sales assistant who was injured when a heavy tray of bread loaves fell on her at work, has been awarded €15,000 damages in the Circuit Civil Court.

Barrister John Quirke told Judge Terence O’Sullivan that in March 2012 Jessica Kelty was pushing a two-metre high trolley when the top tray of bread fell off and struck her on the head.

Ms Kelty, 23, of Brookfield Drive, Tallaght, Dublin, said the trolley was almost twice as big as she was. She had been knocked to the ground and felt dizzy afterwards.
