Former garda awarded €43k for arm injury

Former garda and keen angler James Moynihan, whose fly fishing arm was seriously hurt in a scuffle with late night revellers, has been awarded damages of just over €43,000 in the High Court.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said that Garda Moynihan also continued to suffer shoulder pain during wet or cold spells and was unable to raise his arm above his head since having been injured while attempting to make an arrest in 2006.
