A young mother of three who was catastrophically injured when the car her husband was driving collided with a tractor on a Cork road has claimed €1million in loss of earnings, the High Court has heard.

Counsel for Cork County Council, Fergus O’Hagan SC, told the High Court the claim in the case of Olivia Redmond-O’Callaghan for €1million in loss of earnings was “extremely spurious that goes to the credibility of the entire case".
