Dutch Embassy settles claims after Dublin collision that involved one of its drivers and injured two girls

The Dutch Embassy, rather than plead diplomatic immunity on behalf of one of its official drivers involved in a road accident in Dublin, has settled €60,000 claims on behalf of two cousins injured in the collision.

Barrister Conor Kearney told Judge John O’Connor in the Circuit Civil Court today that The Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands had initially entered full defences in both cases involving minors, but had agreed negotiated settlements in each.
