The family of a welder who died when a steel column fell on him as he worked at Dublin Port has settled several High Court actions over his death for €1.25m.
James Byrne was killed instantly on June 6, 2018, when the six-foot column fell on top of him shortly after he had been using a blow torch to separate it from a larger metal structure.
In the High Court today his partner Paula Murray, of Griffeen Glen Dene, Lucan, Co Dublin, and their two sons Nathan, 21, and Callum, 13, settled an action over his death and also a number of nervous shock actions.
