Judge Terence O’Sullivan heard that McDonnell was participating in a Youth Reach work placement scheme when the incident occurred in April 2014 while he was manning the gravy station at a lunchtime carvery. Avocados cost only about €1 in Australia and yet young people here cannot afford to buy houses either‘Shame on you’: Robert De Niro shouts at former assistant during court caseMcDonnell, with an address at Longdale Terrace, Ballymun, said a customer returned to the carvery with a plate looking for more gravy and a commis chef reached across him to provide it.
McDonnell also sued two youth training agencies, but the case against each of them was dismissed by Judge O’Sullivan, who only awarded damages against Parnell’s. However, the judge refused to make an order for legal costs on behalf of the two youth agencies against the GAA club.
