Man took part in triathlon weeks after suffering ‘injuries’

A man took part in a 67km triathlon five weeks after allegedly suffering “incapacitating injuries” in a bicycle incident involving a hit and run driver, Dublin Circuit Civil Court has heard.

A €60,000 damages claim by Graham Dunne, aged 41, of Castlecurragh Park, Blanchardstown, Co Dublin, was thrown out on the basis he had given misleading information regarding his previous medical history.
