Man in bathroom fall loses €60k damages claim against Kerry hotel

Judge dismisses claim over differing accounts of how the accident occurred

The judge ruled that Scotts Hotel in Killarney had not failed in its statutory duties.

A 61-year-old Cork man, who fell while getting out of the bath in Scott’s Hotel, Killarney, Co Kerry, more than five years ago, has lost a personal injuries damages claim for €60,000 against the hotel owners.

Judge Colin Daly told Tralee Circuit Civil Court he had to dismiss the claim of Aidan Feehan, Valebrook, Ballyvolane, Co Cork, because of a number of different accounts he had given as to how the accident had happened.
