Boy sues school after laser-beam classroom injury

A student who claims he suffered a burn injury to his eye when another schoolboy shone a laser beam in the classroom has sued the school in the High Court.

Dillon Breen told the High Court he has to wear glasses for life after a part of the retina of his right eye was burned in the incident at St Kevin’s College, Finglas, Dublin eight years ago when he was a fifth year student.
