Judge Terence O’Sullivan heard in the Circuit Civil Court today that in October 2019 Ugne Rudnickaite had been knocked unconscious and suffered bone breakages in her left hand and shoulder. He was told that Ugne, of The Courtyard, Friar’s Hill, in Wicklow Town, had been on the pedestrian crossing at the junction of Talbot Street and Gardiner Street, Dublin, when hit by the motorbike.
