Woman settles case against Navy over injuries

A woman brought a case against the Navy to the High Court arising out of injuries she suffered during a simulation of an emergency at sea.

Amy Deady, aged 28, of Midleton, Co Cork, said at the High Court sitting in Cork that the sea survival exercise took place at the National Maritime College on January 29, 2013.

Ms Deady began to give her direct evidence yesterday morning. By the afternoon there were discussions between the legal parties and the case settled out of court on undisclosed terms.
