Child, 7, awarded €45k after restaurant door 'crushed' two of her fingers

A seven-year-old child, who suffered crush injuries three years ago to two of her fingers in a restaurant, has been made a settlement of €45,000 damages for personal injuries.

Barrister Pat Purcell told the Circuit Civil Court today that a door in The Old Schoolhouse Restaurant, Swords, had closed on Paula Buliauskite’s right hand, crushing her right middle and ring finger on her right hand.
