Fireman injured during drill awarded over €41,000

A fireman who claimed he suffered injuries when he slipped on stairs during a training fire drill has been awarded over €41,000 by the High Court.

Mr Justice Kevin Cross said the only plausible explanation for Liam Kelly's muscle-tearing injury to the calf of his left leg was he did so in a twisting manoeuvre and a fall down two steps, as he described.
