A €250,000 loss of future earnings award to a woman injured in a traffic accident must be reconsidered, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

In 2018, the High Court awarded €530,860 to Dolores O'Doherty (aged 50), a school secretary from Tycroghan, Enfield, Co Meath, against Anne and Tom Callinan, Drum, Athlone, Co. Westmeath.
