The scene of an incident at Thomond Bridge in Limerick that claimed the lives of two men. Photograph: Brendan GleesonA father of two who survived a “very traumatic” crane incident at Thomond Bridge in Limerick that claimed the lives of two of his co-workers has reached an undisclosed settlement against a number of parties, the High Court heard on Thursday.

Mr Murphy took his action against Palfinger Ireland Ltd, Palfinger Europe GmbH, Nationwide Crane Hire Ltd, Paul Mulcair Ltd, Gaelach Droichead Ltd T/A Irish Bridge, Mulcahy Walsh & Co Ltd and Limerick City and County Council.

Mr Mohan said that Mr Murphy had been assessed by consultants and was found to have met the criteria to be diagnosed with PTSD and would either avoid the bridge or pass by it to remember his colleagues.
