Man who lost finger climbing fence at Luas stop 'wanted to get home for dinner'

A man who lost his finger when he climbed a fence to get to a Luas stop has told the High Court he wanted to get home for his dinner.

Michael Kelly was going from Dundrum on the green line back to the city centre refuge where he was staying at the time and where his lunchtime meal was served at 1pm. The court heard Mr Kelly six years ago lived in a men's refuge in Dublin city centre and there were strict rules and dinner was served at 1pm in the day.
