Girl who allegedly crushed finger in playschool's fire door settles case for €20,000

Mr Justice Simons also allowed the pay-out of €250 so that the little girl can celebrate the end of the case

Mr Justice Garrett Simons was told the playschool disputed the account of the accident and CCTV footage appeared to support a different narrative where the child emerged from a bathroom with the injured finger.

A 10-year-old girl who it was claimed when she was a toddler got her finger stuck in a fire door while at playschool has settled her High Court action for €20,000.

Brooke Weldon was three years of age when she suffered a crush injury to her right ring finger tip and the High Court heard the little girl has no memory of the incident.
