Man loses €60k injuries claim

An “obviously very strong man”, who knocked down two bouncers and threatened to knock down two others, has lost a €60,000 personal injuries claim against a pub and a security firm.

Software developer Raymond Brennan, aged 45, was also ordered by Circuit Court President Mr Justice Raymond Groarke to pay the costs of both defendants, which will be at least €15,000.

Mr Brennan, of Palmerstown Square, Palmerstown, Dublin, told the court he had been in The Silver Granite pub in Palmerstown with his wife and daughter on June 10, 2012, watching a soccer match on television when he was asked to leave.
