Two women who claimed they suffered ankle injuries getting out of a “bird’s nest” basket swing in a Tipperary playground have settled their High Court actions.

The settlements bring to an end the long-running legal saga which saw the women’s actions thrown out by a High Court judge over two years ago and the Court of Appeal later ordering a retrial of both cases.
