A financial risk analyst who fell in a Dublin cocktail bar when she claims another patron who was dancing to a Michael Jackson song knocked her to the ground has settled her High Court action.

Helen Mooney was in The Odeon Bar, Harcourt Street and trying to pass a group of five people which included two women dancing when the accident happened on December 5, 2014.
