A WAITRESS who was badly burned in an accident at a south Dublin hotel has died at St James's Hospital

A WAITRESS who was badly burned in an accident at a south Dublin hotel has died at St James's Hospital. Ms Pauline Henderson (49), of Ballybrack, Co Dublin, was married with three children.

She was badly burned in an accident during a wedding reception in July when staff at the Killiney Court Hotel attempted to put a flame to a baked Alaska. A second woman involved in the accident has been released from hospital.

A family member last night said Ms Henderson had worked in the Killiney Court for about 10 years. The hotel manager, Mr William Dunne, offered condolences to her family.
