Bride gets €42k damages for wedding venue roof collapse

The High Court today awarded more than €42,000 in damages to a bride who claimed her wedding day was ruined after the ceiling at the hotel where their reception was taking place suddenly collapsed.

Joanne Noone claimed that what was supposed to be their most important day of her and her husband's lives was destroyed, when just as they were about to start their first dance the ceiling at the Setanta House Hotel in Celbridge gave way.
