A toilet door fell off its hinges and struck a Wexford man while he and his three-year-old son were using the facilities in a Dublin restaurant, Judge John O’Connor has heard in the Circuit Civil Court. Barry Browne, counsel for now 12-year-old Jamie Mulholland, Whiterock Drive, Whitebrook, Wexford Town, told the court the door had struck Jamie’s father, knocking him on top of and injuring his son. “The cubicle door became detached from its hinges and fell on Mr Mulholland causing him to fall on top of his son,” Mr Browne said. Mr Browne told Judge O’Connor that a personal injury settlement offer of €7,000 had been made to Jamie by the OKR Group, trading as Burger King, and he was recommending the court’s acceptance of the offer. Judge O’Connor, approving the settlement, said he felt it was one that should be accepted by the court.
