Dunnes employee wins €40k after slip on wet floor

A Dunnes Stores employee who slipped and fell on a wet floor while shopping in another Dunnes outlet was yesterday awarded €40,000 in compensation.

Eileen O’Mahony, aged 65, of 101 Mervue Lawn, Ballyvolane, Cork, was employed in her local store and the accident at the centre of yesterday’s case occurred at Dunnes Stores on North Main St, Cork, on June 17, 2015.

The plaintiff was at the supermarket when she slipped and fell on a wet floor. The floor had become wet as a result of water leaking from a refrigeration unit on the aisle.
