A 35-year-old man who suffered a traumatic head injury after he claims he was hit by a car as he walked along a country road on a winter’s evening has settled his High Court action for €6.5 million.

Bosnian national Damir Zelenika was only in this country a short time when the accident is alleged to have happened at around 5pm on a country road near Dublin Airport as he walked along the road after work.
