A drink, which a mother bought for her 13-year-old daughter in a holiday centre, was contaminated with a corrosive cleaning fluid, Judge John O’Connor was told in the Circuit Civil court today.

Barrister Harrriet Meagher had provided the court with a legal opinion in which she stated that Kareena Hoollah, now aged 15, had fully recovered from a burning sensation on her tongue by about two weeks following the incident.
