More than 40 children settle cases against Hyde and Seek creche

The children, through their parents in separate sets of proceedings, had sued the Hyde and Seek owners and operators. Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill. The judge said these were distressing cases.

Counsel said the children involved in the cases before the court were “very very young” and pre-verbal. He said this resolution of the cases deals honourably with the claims and the €15,000 in each case was the maximum allowed under the judicial guidelines. Anne Davy , who stepped down as a Hyde and Seek director, was in 2022 fined €4,000 after pleading guilty at Dublin District Court to breaching childcare regulations.

In the High Court on Friday, one case that was settled for €15,000 concerned a now 8-year-old boy, who claimed he started attending the Hyde and Seek creche on Tolka Road, Drumcondra, in October 2016 when he was nine months old.It was claimed that his parents noticed small bruises on his legs. They raised the matter with the creche but were reassured.
