Unable to have 'intimate relations' for 8 months: Woman, 29, receives €30k award after coffee spill

A 29-year-old woman, whose thighs and genitals were scalded when coffee was spilled in her lap at a McDonald’s Drive-Through takeaway in Clondalkin, Co Dublin, has been awarded €30,000 damages in the Circuit Civil Court.

Ciara Corboy, of Oatfield Avenue, Clondalkin, told Judge Francis Comerford that in November 2017 while being handed a large Americano at the drive-through restaurant at The Mill Shopping Centre, Clondalkin, a lid that had not been properly secured to the cup had come off causing her to be scalded in her thighs, groin and private parts.
