Boy, 2, who cut himself after creche fall while washing his hands wins €32k in damages

A two-year-old boy, who fell and lacerated his left eyebrow while washing his hands in a crèche bathroom, has been awarded €32,500 damages against Wee Care Limited, Monkstown, Co Dublin.

Barrister Samantha Cruess Callaghan, counsel for Lucas Murphy, who is now aged seven, told Judge John O’Connor in the Circuit Civil Court today that the boy had been standing on a footstool while washing his hands at a sink too high for him to reach.
