Three-year-old awarded €20,000 after fingertip severed in push-chair accident

A three-year-old girl whose left ring fingertip was sliced off in a fold-up pushchair accident a year ago, has been awarded €20,000 damages in the Circuit Civil Court.

Quick-thinking assistants at a Dublin crèche searched for and found little Roisin Longo’s fingertip and packed it in ice for her mum who was rushed by ambulance with her daughter and the amputated fingertip to Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
