Kitchen porter ‘made carry large pot’ sues over injury

A kitchen porter in a Killarney restaurant brought a case to the High Court yesterday for a back injury suffered lifting a large pot of water from a sink.

The boiler at La Rambla restaurant in Killarney had broken down on the day and the porter said he was told to fill a pot of water in the sink and then carry it over to a hob on the cooker.

Robert Tokar commenced his civil action yesterday before Mr Justice Michael Hanna at the High Court sitting in Cork, against Theo’s Restaurant Ltd, trading as La Rambla in Killarney.
