Bus Éireann loses appeal after driver assaults cyclist

Bus Éireann has today lost its claim that it should not be held vicariously liable for an assault committed on a cyclist by one of its drivers.

Last January at Dublin Circuit Civil Court Mr Scott Alexander Burns (aged 38) of The Orchard, Greenwood, Ayrfield, Dublin, was awarded €15,000 damages by Judge Jacqueline Linnane for assault against Bus Éireann.
