Woman sues iconic English Market fish stall over fall

The Cork fish stall which achieved international fame with two British royal visits and as a location for the hit TV show The Young Offenders was the centre of attention yesterday at the High Court where a woman sued for compensation as a result of a fall on the public walkway outside the stall.

Christine Mullane of Tweedmount, Blarney, was buying fish at Kay O’Connell’s fish stall at The English Market when she fell on the public aisle outside it and struck her head against a bar.

Lorraine O’Sullivan, the plaintiff’s senior counsel, said the stall was renowned from British royal visits and for scenes in the movie and TV series, The Young Offenders.
