A Dublin man took part in a triathlon only five weeks after allegedly suffering “incapacitating injuries” in a cycling accident involving a hit and run driver, the Circuit Civil Court has heard. Mr Kearney, who appeared with solicitors Stephen Mackenzie and Co, told the court that Mr Dunne, a telecommunications engineer, had misled a doctor about his past medical history. He denied deliberately attempting to hide the fact he had suffered similar injuries in the earlier accident. When closely examined about his failure to disclose the relevant injuries suffered in the Aquatic Centre accident, Mr Dunne said it may have been due to his naivety or stupidity. I cannot find any possible reason as to why I would consider an injustice would be done by dismissing the claim.”
