A child who lost the tops of his two fingers after his hand was caught in a creche door as he lined up with his friends to go outside has settled his High Court action for €70,000.

Isaac D’Alton was three years old when the tops of his middle and ring finger of his right hand were severed in the accident. The little boy had passed out in the ambulance as he was rushed to hospital.
