Boy settles case against Dublin City Council for €750k over fall from balcony

A boy who, when he was three years old suffered injuries when he fell from a third-floor balcony in a Dublin inner-city complex, has settled his High Court action for €750,000.

The little boy was playing when it is claimed he climbed the cut-out feature on the balcony to look at children playing in the playground below and fell on to the concrete flagstones below.
