  1. Good grief! Is there a person in Ireland who hadn’t gotten stung at some stage in their lives? What next? Suing for falling in a patch of nettles? Glad the judge had sense but the solicitor and barrister who brought that frivolous case should be struck off.

  2. Here,I got stung on the nipple outside Barry’s in Douglas, can I sue them… ya,it sucks to have a kid stung by wasps but that’s fucking life in the wild durning the summer time.

  3. Ireland in general is bad for suing.

    Oktoberfest in Dublin literally said on Facebook back in 2018/19 that they’re not returning because Irish people keeping suing them for stupid shit like falling over or getting alcohol poisoning. The Germans said Irish people have this “claim culture” and it’s been a thing for decades.

  4. > There had initially been a report of nine stings, then it became six stings and she had clearly stated in her evidence there had been three stings.

    One thing judges love is a story changing every time it’s told.

  5. I *suppose* the argument on the lack of negligence is allowing the hive to be there?

    Zoos should be pure concrete and destroy all aspects of nature.

  6. Obviously not nice for the toddler to get stung but it happens every summer .I doubt there is anyone here who hasn’t got stung at some stage.

    But I’m absolutely delighted the case was dismissed and be even better if the costs are awarded to the Zoo.

    It was a money grap by the parents, simple as that.Its shameful to use a kid to get handy cash.

  7. Oh my friend was also stung by a bee or wasp in Dublin Zoo. I took her to first aid station, they checked her and we carried on with our day. No big deal and no suing.
