Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has appealed an award of €944K to former Limerick senior hurler Mark Keane over a 2018 workplace incident when he was injured while freeing a colleague who was trapped in a machine at their plant in Plassey, Co Limerick.
Last April, the High Court made the award to Mr Keane for injuries to his right hand, arm and shoulder. He told the court that since the injury he was “not the man he was, nor the one he hoped to become” and felt “let down” by the famed multinational bluechip company.
