Amie Reilly, aged two at time of injury, had finger tip reattached in hospital but carries scar
The court heard that Amie, whose home is at Glencairn View, The Gallops, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, had suffered a complete amputation of the tip of her left ring finger. A lady passenger who had been helping Amie’s mother search for the missing piece of finger had found it attached to a hinge on a retractable seat. She had wrapped it in tissue paper and had given it to Amie’s mother.
Mr Reilly said that while the reattachment of the fingertip had been successful Amie would have a permanent cosmetic deformity of her finger and was seeking compensation for both psychiatric and physical injury.
