A woman who knocked her head against a low-hanging referendum poster has settled a €38,000 damages claim against Fianna Fáil and a poster company. John Nolan told the Circuit Civil Court yesterday that Fianna Fáil and Executive Posters, Howth, Co Dublin, had jointly agreed to settle the claim.
Sandra Memery (48), Navan Road, Dublin, claimed she had suffered a head trauma after she walked into the poster calling for a Yes vote in the second Lisbon Treaty referendum in October 2009. Her doctor had found a swelling over the right temporal area. X-ray excluded any fracture.
