Pharma giant Johnson & Johnson has secured a €58,000 reduction against a High Court award of almost €1m made to a former Limerick senior hurler.

Mark Keane was injured while freeing a work colleague trapped in a machine at their plant in Plassey, Co Limerick, in 2018 and brought a case to the High Court.
