A boy who was attacked by a dog when playing hurling on a GAA pitch has settled his High Court action for €95,000.
Aaron Heavey-Sharpe suffered multiple lacerations to his lower legs and has been left with permanent and significant scarring after the attack by the Alaskan Malamute dog, Judge Paul Coffey was told.
The boy’s counsel Gabriel Gavigan SC instructed by Feargal White solicitor told the court that Aaron was on a GAA pitch when the dog ran onto the grass and attacked and bit him savagely.
