  1. What an unlucky little chap, €40k because his parents didn’t hold his hand, then €18k because they let him play on a road, great stuff…

  4. I actually hate this country. I mean, some species somewhere must be watching us on some intergalactic Live TV stream and just laughing at us………

  5. Article is blocked but how did he get 40,000 by being stranded on the Luas?

    Who paid the 40,000 as am assuming it was his parents fault he was left stranded

  6. Saving for a house deposit for 5 years. Seems walking around with my eyes closed would have been an easier option.

  8. How long until he is “slipping” on the floor in Supermacs?

  9. “He said he still felt some pain in his leg when jogging, cycling and horse riding…”

    And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the absurdity

  10. He’s currently dangling his mickey into a toaster in Currys.

    More as we get it

  12. Forget mortgage deposit he will have the house bought by 18.

  13. I wonder if he or his parents know that you get a huge payout from Breville if you drop your toaster in the bath.
    Bath has to be full, toaster plugged in and toasting and you gotta be in the bath, that’s it! 3 simple steps, easy 50k.

  14. I’d like to see the stats on the number of parents leaving their children on the luas after this article 💰

  16. I think the parents need to be investigated for neglect here. They can’t seem to keep their kid out of danger.

  18. When I was growing up we had a family in the area who had such bad luck, right across the family they ended up in court on a near monthly basis looking for pay outs

    One case of one of them been careless and walking about in front of a car caused me serious injury, the poor fellow who caused it of course sued but got nothing because of my statement, I didn’t sue and maybe I should ahe
    The payment back then not to close to what they are now

    Hence why you see the same sort of scum having these cases one after another

  20. Becoming more and more like the yanks as every day passes by

  21. Struggling to understand the settlement for the injuries he suffered by being hit by the car.

    The court and both parties acknowledge the driver was not speeding and had swerved to avoid the child when he emerged from between cars and on to the road.

    The incident is classified by the judge as 75% the drivers fault but unless there is glaring omissions of evidence here in this article I can’t even begin to imagine how this could be the case?

    Has the judge really set precedent that says if your child kamikazes himself in the middle of the road you’re in for a pay day?

  22. 18k for his own negligence and 40k for his mothers negligence. Nice money if you can get it.

  23. I know all parties involved in this case, and they all knew each other at the time. This happened right outside my nanny’s front door, and to be fair, the kid was in bad shape.

  24. >Adam Fleming (14) was awarded personal injury damages in the Circuit Civil Court of €24,000, reduced by 25pc to €18,000 on the basis of his contributory negligence.

    How about reducing it by 100% next time? Fucking compo culture…

  25. Is he related to the stupid bint that ran into the moving bus shelter earlier in the week

  26. I was stranded on a train at Howth Junction when I was about 7. Got a Rocky chocolate bar out of it. Feel I should have held out

  27. Hang in why are the luas responsible for the mothers bad judgement? White he fuck let’s a child go anywhere in front of them?

    Probably the same type that let their kids out to play in traffic it seems….

  28. It’s the only way to get ahead in this country now, big compo payouts! Should all be doing it

  29. I’d say his school is sweating at the thought of what problem this family will find next

  30. Can we start capping payouts like in the UK and be done with this nonsense already

  31. And then people wonder why I say Ireland is a claimocracy…

  32. So we offer rewards now for child negligence…
