Barrister Stephen O’ Leary, counsel for Egan, who sued through his mother Ciara O’Dea, told the court that during the woodwork class a bandsaw had fallen off the table and landed on Egan’s right foot. Counsel said Egan had some swelling to his foot but that following an x-ray he appeared to have had no bone injuries and had been discharged from hospital.

O’Leary, who appeared with Killeen Solicitors, said that Egan had been supplied with a walking boot which he had worn for three weeks.
