Former garda seeking €1m damages for 'career-ending injury'
A former garda, allegedly forced to retire as a result of injury, is seeking in the region of €1m special damages from the State, a judge has heard.
Noel Kevane of Rosscarbery, Co Cork, claims he was forced to give up his career job in the force after having been injured in a car chase in May 1999 in which criminals rammed a garda car. He had been stationed in the Bridewell, Cork, at the time.
