A judge has rejected an application that he throw out a €60,000 personal injury action by a Co. Clare mother before evidence is heard in the case.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Jack Nicholas BL made the application to Judge Colin Daly after the judge found that Caroline Sherlock of Carrowgar, Lahinch, was not in a car with her family when it crashed into a car being driven by Gaelscoil principal, Deirdre Ui Mhaile, at Moy outside Lahinch in 2014.
