€40,000 award for boy goalkeeper after hospital 'failed to detect' shard of glass in his hand

A €40,000 assessment of damages for a keen young goalkeeper, who suffered “a modest reduction of movement” to his left thumb, has been approved by the Circuit Civil Court.

Barrister Stephen J. Byrne told the court that Brandyn Keogh, of Earlsfort Park, Lucan, Co Dublin, was found to still have a shard of glass in his hand after having been treated and discharged from Tallaght Hospital in August 2015.
